HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Former Northern Kentucky basketball standout Jalen Tate is the latest Norse to continue his pro career as he inked with Amics Castello of the Primera FEB, the second division of the Spanish basketball league.

Tate spent the past year with the Stella Artois Leuven Bears out of the Belgian Pro Basketball League. In 18 games, he posted a line of 15.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.3 steals per contest to go along with leading his squad in helpers.
