Yuba College Men's Basketball tweeted: "Yuba college freshman point guard Jalen Coates has been offered and has accepted a full ride from an incredible academic institution to play basketball for the Montana Tech Orediggers! Jalen had offers from higher levels of basketball schools but decided to play for a school where he could excel as a student and as an athlete! Jalen finished his freshman year with a 3.2 GPA! Congrats Jalen!!!"
