Clayton Custer

Clayton Custer (born June 28, 1995) is an American college basketball player for Loyola University Chicago. A 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) point guard, Custer is the 2018 Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year. As a freshman in the 2014–15 season, Custer played sparingly behind the Cyclones' Monté Morris, one of the top point guards in the Big 12 Conference. He chose to transfer following the season, after scoring 13 points in 12 games. Custer ultimately chose to re-join Richardson under coach Porter Moser at Loyola after Moser took him to lunch and met with his parents. After sitting out the 2015–16 season per National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) transfer rules, Custer immediately joined the Ramblers' starting lineup, allowing star Milton Doyle to play off the ball. He averaged 11.6 points and 3.1 assists per game as a sophomore.
