Benson Arogbo (Lassen College) accepts scholarship to UMFK

Arogbo is newest Lassen College player to accept University Scholarship

Benson Arogbo, an athletic 6’3” 190 forward for the Lassen College men’s basketball team has accepted a scholarship to University of Maine at Fort Kent for 2014-15.  Benson will have three years remaining of collegiate eligibility at UMFK and looks to be a big part of their basketball program in the future.  Arogbo finished his time here at Lassen College with an impressive 3.0 GPA and will be closer to home being that his home is the United Kingdom.  Arogbo had averages of 1 point and 1 rebound while shooting 35% from the field for the Lassen Cougars as a freshman.  From Lassen College coach Devin Aye, “Benson has improved drastically during his time here at Lassen College.  His work ethic and character were a big part of our success this year.  Benson was our best defender and he accepted his role on the team even though he was a very capable scorer as well.  He will have a great career at UMFK, and I fully expect to see great things from him in the future.  They are getting a great basketball player, student and young man on campus in Benson Arogbo.”  Arogbo is the sixth men’s basketball student-athlete to accept a scholarship in the last two years.   Coach Devin Aye says he expects for at least two more to sign in the coming weeks.
