TOLEDO, Ohio – Former Rocket Jaelan Sanford will be competing in the 2019 USA Basketball Men's 3x3 National Championship on May 3-4 in Las Vegas. Sanford will be part of the Mid-American Conference's 3x3 squad that placed third in the Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship at the Mall of America in early April.
Sanford will be joined by Larry Austin Jr. (Central Michigan), Tayler Persons (Ball State) and Jaylin Walker (Kent State). The Evansville, Ind. native averaged 5.3 ppg in seven games in the 3X3U event while shooting 53.6 percent (15-of-28) from three-point range. Sanford completed his senior season at Toledo in March by leading the Rockets to a second-straight outright MAC West Division title, an NIT appearance and the second-most wins (25) in a season in program history.
