Lincoln's Jermaine Hamlin leaving the Fighting Illini

 

[April 22, 2021] 

Lincoln’s Jermaine Hamlin has entered the transfer portal according to a team spokesman. For those in our community and area that aren’t familiar with him, Hamlin had a solid high school career for our Railers and being a 6-foot-10 center made him a formidable teammate for the Illini squad the last two seasons. Though he was only able to log 24 total minutes this year, he was a valuable team member.

Hamlin closes the book on his Illini career finishing with 23 points and 16 rebounds while seeing action in 24 games. As Illinois tries to mix & match and juggle with the NCAA’s approved one-time transfer rule, the roster is a fluid document seemingly changing daily. With the subtraction of Hamlin that leaves Illinois with one open scholarship remaining.

LDN will offer updates as they are made available.
