On the heels of hiring a new head coach in Craig Smith earlier this week, the Utah State Aggies basketball program has received a big blow.
Standout guard Koby McEwen, who won Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year honors last year and then was a third-team all-conference selection this year, announced via Twitter Friday evening that he has obtained his release to transfer from the program.
The 6-foot-4, 200-pound McEwen led the Aggies during the 2017-2018 campaign in rebounds (5.4) and assists (3.2) per game and was second in scoring behind Sam Merrill (15.6 points per contest).
