Western Kentucky junior forward Marek Nelson announced via Twitter on Tuesday he intends to transfer. Team spokesman Zach Greenwell confirmed Nelson’s decision.
Nelson played two years off the bench for Rick Stansbury’s Hilltoppers and missed half of his sophomore season due to a back injury. The 6-foot-7, 185-pound forward tweeted Tuesday, “Where do I start? The campus. The culture. The PEOPLE. WKU has grown me in so many ways these past two years. As a man, as a teammate, as a follower of Christ. Although I am transferring, WKU will always be a place I can call home, and for that, I am grateful.
