Charles Matthews is officially moving on.
Matthews, a redshirt junior, announced on Wednesday that he will forgo his final season of eligibility and stay in the NBA draft.
“Last week, I spoke about my desire to play professional basketball. Reaching that goal has been a driving force as far back as I can remember,” Matthews said in a tweeted statement on the program’s account. “Now is my chance. Now I make it official that I will be departing the University of Michigan.
“Michigan has meant so much to me that words cannot express my gratitude for what it has provided to me.
