Chennault to transfer from Villanova

VILLANOVA, Pa. – Guard Tony Chennault has informed the Villanova coaching staff of his plans to transfer to another university after one season as a Wildcat.

Chennault, a native of Philadelphia, played his first two seasons at Wake Forest University before transferring to Villanova prior to the 2012-13 academic year.

“We are going to miss Tony,” stated Villanova head coach Jay Wright. “He was a major part of our run to the NCAA Tournament last season. We respect Tony’s decision and he will always be a part of the Nova Nation.”

Chennault appeared in all 34 games Villanova played in 2012-13 as a reserve after receiving a hardship waiver from the NCAA. He averaged 3.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 18.5 minutes per game. The product of Neumann-Goretti High School scored a season-high 11 points at Monmouth on Dec. 22 and added 10 points and four rebounds in a February victory at DePaul.

Chennault plans to complete the spring academic semester at Villanova.
