Following the loss of multiple seniors for the University of Colorado men’s basketball team, head coach Tad Boyle took to the transfer market and acquired graduate student Mason Faulkner, a guard from Western Carolina.
Faulkner, who spent his first two seasons of eligibility with Northern Kentucky before transferring to Western Carolina, is now taking the NCAA’s extra year of eligibility due to COVID-19.
Originally from Glasgow, Kentucky, the 6-foot-1 and 190-pound Faulkner is likely to take over point guard duties with the loss of Wright. Faulkner will join just two other upcoming seniors on the roster in guard Eli Parquet and forward Evan Battey.
