UTEP basketball loses two more players to transfer portal

A disappointing season for the UTEP Miners just got even worse, with two prominent players entering the transfer portal once again — sophomore guards Jordan Lathon and Nigel Hawkins.

Eliminated from the conference tournament by Marshall, UTEP was able to avoid an abrupt end to its season due to coronavirus. What UTEP was unable to avoid was the turmoil that plagued the team most of the season. Lathon and Hawkins are no strangers to the transfer portal, but they’ve once again put themselves in a position to transfer.

Lathon dealt with family issues around the holidays and left the school to be close to home in Missouri.
