MAGNOLIA, Ark. – Former Southern Arkansas University standout Kenny Langhorne has signed with the Las Vegas Venom of the American Basketball Association (ABA).

Langhorne, a native of Columbus, Ohio, finished his two-year career at SAU this past season after transferring from Columbus State College. A Second Team All-Gulf South Conference selection last year, he led the Muleriders in scoring and rebounding, averaging 15 points and 6.4 rebounds a game, led in shooting percentage at 50.3 percent (148-294), shot 35.5 percent (27-76) from three-point range, was 64.3 percent (81-126) at the free throw line, had 49 assists, 15 blocks, and a team-high 49 steals.
