Justin Sofman, who earned a scholarship from Rutgers as a junior in high school, is walking from the game.
Sofman, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound junior wing at Monmouth, informed head coach Dave Calloway of the decision on Tuesday after making the choice a day earlier. He says he plans to transfer to Division 3 Ramapo College and not play basketball.
“I’ve been in limbo between wanting to play and not wanting to play,” Sofman, 21, said by phone. “I always thought I’d get the passion back for it and I never did. I’ve been too consistent with my feelings about it so it’s not an impulsive decision.”
