University of Santo Tomas is adding more ceiling to its roster ahead of UAAP Season 86 with the acquisition of Vince Ventulan.
The 6’4” winger from Port St. Lucie, Florida will play his one-and-done year for the Growling Tigers this upcoming campaign.
“Magandang addition para sa amin si Vince dahil makakadagdag siya sa athleticism namin dito sa team,” said UST head coach Pido Jarencio.
The 23-year-old Ventulan, whose dad Vic hails from Mactan, Cebu and mom Winnie is from Bohol, is pumped to suit up for one more year in college as he looks to make an impact in his brief time in Espana.
“I’m excited to play another year of basketball here. I feel like I have a great size and length and I want to make winning plays for the team,” said the 6-foot-4 slasher.
Ventulan posted 4.8 points on 36-percent shooting from deep, to go with 1.6 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 21.1 minutes of action in his senior year for the Gyrenes this past 2022-23 season.
He’s the latest of the new faces in the Growling Tigers’ lair alongside rookies SJ Moore and Mark Llemit.
