Former Prairie View A&M men's basketball standout
Jourdan DeMuynck has moved on to the professional ranks after inking a contract with Keravnos Strovolou in the Republic of Cyprus.
DeMuynck is the projected starter at shooting guard for his team which plays in the league's top division (A). He's joining a squad which advanced to the semifinal round of the 2013 Cypriot Play-Offs and finished 3-1 in the EuroChallenge last season. A native of San Leandro, Calif., DeMuynck had an impressive career for the Panthers as he led them to the 2013 SWAC Tournament Finals while also earning All-SWAC Second Team and All-Tournament Honors.
DeMuynck's signing continues a tradition of Panther standouts earning professional opportunities overseas under head coach
Byron Rimm II. Since 2010, a total of five players have moved on to the professional ranks after completing their careers at Prairie View A&M.
"I'm proud of what Jourdan has accomplished," said Rimm. Â "It shows if you put in hard work on-and-off the court, you can achieve your dreams."
