While the COVID-19 pandemic has taken so much away from athletes, it is giving senior guard E.J. Stephens one more chance to play collegiate basketball. The Lafayette guard announced this week via Instagram that he would be transferring to the University of Minnesota at the conclusion of the academic year to play for the Gophers.
Stephens leaves Lafayette as the 47th player to score 1,000 points in Leopards history. He totaled 1,017 points for Lafayette and led the Leopards to two consecutive winning seasons in his final two years, something the Leopards had not experienced since the 2014-2015 season.
