Sophomore guard Nazeer Bostick announced Thursday that he has elected to transfer from Penn State and will pursue other collegiate opportunities at the end of the spring semester.

“Naz indicated that he is interested in continuing his basketball career at a program where he can play a more significant role,” said Nittany Lion basketball coach Patrick Chambers. “We fully support Naz in his decision and wish him the very best in his future endeavors. He’ll always be a part of our Penn State family.”
