Former SWAC top frosh Howard plans return to Jackson State

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Former Jackson State star Kelsey Howard plans to come back.

“He came to me around Christmas and asked (if he could come back), and I told him as soon as the season is over with, you need to show up to workouts and team meetings,” men’s basketball coach Wayne Brent said.

Howard played under former JSU coach Tevester Anderson, who retired last March. Brent was hired later in the month and said Howard, the Southwestern Athletic Conference’s top freshman in 2011-12, stopped showing up after a couple of offseason workouts.

“People say I cut Kelsey, but I never cut him,” Brent said.

Jackson State lost to Grambling State in the first round of the SWAC tournament last week in Houston. Brent said he spoke with Howard at a team meeting on Wednesday.
