COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - Maryland forward Justin Jackson will forgo his final two seasons of college eligibility to seek a career in the NBA.
Terrapins coach Mark Turgeon also says guard Dion Wiley will transfer before playing his senior season.
Jackson averaged 10.5 points as a freshman before missing most of the 2017-18 season with a shoulder injury.
Jackson says, “After talking with my family and weighing my options, it’s my desire to turn my full attention to preparing for a career in professional basketball.”
Wiley appeared in 83 career games, playing a backup role on three teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament under Turgeon.
Maryland was 19-13 this season, including 8-10 in the Big Ten, and failed to reach the postseason.
