NEWS: Monmouth sophomore Justin Ray is entering the transfer portal, his agents at @ProMondo_Sports told @LeagueRDY.
The 6-foot-3 guard out of Greer, South Carolina played the last two seasons at Monmouth, starting 21 games for the Hawks this season.
He averaged 11.3PPG, 2.1RPG, 1.2APG and 1.1SPG in 2025-26. Shot 42% from 3.
Congrats to 6’0 junior PG @BrandonRay2027 for making all-conference for the second consecutive season in the toughest conference in the state. Well deserved! 🦅
Don’t let @BrandonRay2027 get going!!!
The junior guard nails a pull up triple and this game is getting GOOD.
@EastsideMensBB cuts Riverside’s lead to 60-59 with 4 mins to play
Brandon Ray was determined not to lose. 🏀🦅
Not for himself, though. For his seniors. Specifically? His backcourt partner and close friend, Thomas Rouse.
“I took the motivation for the game away from myself. I placed it on winning for him.”
