Northwestern center Barret Benson, who has one year of eligibility remaining, will graduate in three years and transfer, he announced Tuesday afternoon on Twitter.
Benson scored 194 total points in 96 games for the Wildcats (2 points per game), and largely contributed as a backup center behind Dererk Pardon.
“We are excited for Barret to begin his next chapter in life and in basketball,” head coach Chris Collins said in a statement. “For him to graduate in three years from Northwestern is an amazing accomplishment and speaks volumes to his work ethic and dedication. He is an incredible young adult who is sure to be a successful in life in whatever he pursues.
