Nebraska forward Lat Mayen has signed a professional basketball contract in his native Australia and will forego his final season of college eligibility.
Mayen, a native of Adelaide, Australia, had one year of eligibility remaining because of the COVID-19 eligibility freeze during the 2020-21 season. The 6-foot-9, 217-pound forward started 57 games for the Huskers over the last two seasons after transferring from Chipola (Fla.) College, averaging 7.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in that span.
"Lat has decided to pursue professional basketball opportunities back home in Australia," Nebraska Coach Fred Hoiberg said.
