Former Utah, Auburn forward Jahki Howard plans to enter transfer portal
Former Utah forward Jahki Howard plans to enter the transfer portal, he told On3.
The 6-foot-6 sophomore originally from Roxbury, Mass. appeared in only six games for the Utes, averaging 1.3 points in 6.8 minutes per outing. Howard left the program in January to “attend to family matters,” according to a school release.
“We appreciate Jahki’s contributions to our program and wish him well moving forward,” said Utah head men’s basketball coach Alex Jensen.
