Former CU hoopster retires to second career
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – For the second time this summer, a former Chowan University men’s basketball player has left the professional ranks, but he leaves an outstanding career behind.
Suffolk native Quinton McDuffie officially announced his retirement in July, ending a five-year career that took him from eastern Asia to South America and back and forth across several continents.
While his leave-taking from the sport he’s played since childhood was bittersweet, McDuffie will now pursue another lifelong dream: working in law enforcement.
“I have so many fans from across the world as well as in the 252 area that ask me all the time if I am still playing ball,” McDuffie says with a laugh from his home in Huntsville, Alabama.
A 2013 Criminal Justice Major at Chowan, McDuffie went on to earn a Masters degree in Criminology from Troy University in Montgomery, AL.
“I want to show my family, friends, and fans all the things I’ve done thanks to the game of basketball,” he added. “I also hope to show them the next phase in my life as well.”
