Last week, Marquette point guard Duane Wilson announced that he would graduate this spring and use his final year of basketball eligibility elsewhere.  Wilson confirmed with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Tuesday that he would use his final year with Texas A & M next season.

Wilson will join former Golden Eagles assistant coach Isaac Chew, who was part of Buzz Williams’ staff at Marquette from 2012-’14 and helped recruit Wilson.

The Aggies are light on point guards after finishing 16-15 this past season, and that’s where Wilson wants to play.

Wilson played in 30 games for the Golden Eagles in 2016-’17, earning seven starts and averaging 4.8 points and 1.8 rebounds a game.  He started 51 of 95 games during his career at Marquette, averaging 9.6 points and 2.3 rebounds a game.

Redshirt junior guard Duane Wilson has announced that he is leaving the Marquette men’s basketball program and will conclude his final season of eligibility at another school.

The Milwaukee, Wisconsin native is on track to graduate this May and would be immediately eligible to play in the 2017-18 season.  Wilson redshirted in 2013-14 after suffering a preseason injury.

Wilson is looking for more playing time and wants to play point guard.  He recognized that wasn’t going to happen with freshman Markus Howard and redshirt junior Andrew Rowsey playing that position.

Wilson has hopes of playing professionally and feels he needs to not only get more playing time, but he needs that time to come at the point guard position to make that a reality.
