With March Madness well under way, both the leading scorers for the FAMU men’s and women’s basketball teams have entered the transfer portal. Late last week Jordan Tillmon, a junior guard, who averaged 10.6 pts per game, announced via twitter that he was entering the transfer portal. Then yesterday, Dylan Horton a senior guard for the Lady Rattlers who averaged 15.8 per game, announced that she would also be entering the portal as a graduate student with one year of eligibility left.
Tillmon joined the Rattlers just last season after playing for Connors State (Jr) College. While Horton played two years for the Rattlers after transferring from the University of Virginia.
Horton was the SWAC’s fourth best scorer.
The Rattler men finished the season with a disappointing 7-22 (5-13 SWAC) record, its worst record in six years, 11th in the conference. The women finished with a 6-23 record, (4-14 SWAC). Both teams failed to qualify for the SWAC tournament this year.
