After aiding Ohio State's efforts to clinch an NCAA Tournament berth last season, Jae'Sean Tate is ready to write his next chapter as a professional player.
The former standout forward was announced as the newest member of the Antwerp Giants — or Telenet Giants Antwerp for sponsorship's sake — via Twitter Monday afternoon.
The Giants play in the Pro Basketball League, the highest level of Belgian professional basketball.

Tate averaged 12.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists last season in Columbus as the Buckeyes finished 25-9 overall and 15-3 in the Big Ten, good enough for a second place finish. Ohio State ended its season with a 90-84 loss to Gonzaga in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
In his four-year career with the Buckeyes, Tate averaged 11.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists.
Tate will join fellow Americans Jason Clark (Georgetown), Tyler Kalinoski (Davidson) and Paris Lee (Illinois State) in Antwerp.
