DeJon Jarreau will return to Houston for senior season after withdrawing from NBA draft

After declaring for the NBA draft in April, guard DeJon Jarreau announced on Monday afternoon that he has decided to withdraw his name from the 2020 NBA draft and will return to Houston for his senior season.

“I always had the decision I was gonna go back,”Jarreau told Fox 26. “ I really was just testing the waters. You never know what opportunity could have presented itself.”

Jarreau joined guard Nate Hinton as the two UH players who put their name in the NBA draft in April. Hinton announced in May that he was going to stay in the draft process and not return to UH.
