Jamal Aytes has decided to transfer from UNLV.

"I have enjoyed my time at UNLV, but transferring gives me a better opportunity for playing time sooner in my career," Aytes said.

Aytes has appeared in four of UNLV's seven games this season, scoring a total of 11 points (2.8 ppg) with three rebounds (0.8 rpg). He has averaged 9.3 minutes played per game.

"We thank Jamal for his contributions and wish him the best in the future," Rice said.

Aytes was a late addition to the Runnin' Rebel program, signing with UNLV late in the summer.
