The best outside shooter on a team desperate to improve its outside shooting for the coming season has announced he’s leaving the Lobos.
K.J. Jenkins, the UNM senior reserve guard who was voted by teammates as a captain in both of his seasons in Albuquerque, officially entered the NCAA’s transfer portal on Wednesday, declaring his intent to play for another program next season, his last season of college eligibility.
He posted on Instagram, “New Mexico!!!!! Thank you, forever a LOBO!”
The 6-foot-2 Jenkins averaged just 18.5 minutes per game this season as the top guard off the bench in the Lobos’ undersized four-man backcourt rotation that also included Jaelen House, 6-2 Jamal Mashburn, Jr.
