    Penn State guard Jermaine Marshall, the team's second-leading scorer, is foregoing his senior year of eligibility to pursue a professional career overseas.

    The team announced the surprise move in a statement Wednesday. The 6-foot-4 Marshall, who is on schedule to graduate this summer, cited his family including a 1-year-old son, in making his decision.

    "It was a very, very difficult decision just to move on with things and my life," Marshall said in a conference call Wednesday. He would have been a fifth-year senior in 2013-14 after taking his first year at Penn State off to recover from a knee injury suffered in high school.

    "My journey at Penn State has been a long one. I love everything at Penn State, the whole Penn State family from top to bottom. Everybody that stuck with me," Marshall added.

    Marshall broached the subject with Chambers around the last week of April.
