For the third time this week, a current member of the University of Hawai’i basketball team put his name in the NCAA transfer portal.
Jessiya Villa, who sat out this past season as a redshirt freshman, is now listed in the transfer portal, according to verbalcommits.com.
Villa, a 5-foot-11 point guard, still has four years of NCAA eligibility remaining. He enrolled at UH for the 2019-20 school year after serving a two-year church mission in Ghana. Prior to that, he was the Hawai’i state player of the year as a senior at Kahuku High in 2017.
Villa is the third Hawai’i player – and second point guard – to express interest in transferring by entering his name into the portal.
