And the two East Los Angeles College stars both moved to Colombia to play professional basketball.
Highler, 24, left ELAC after the 2020 season and played for Sacramento State for two years.
Just a couple months back, he moved down to Colombia to play for Cimarrones Del Choco.
The 24-year-old seemingly didn't enjoy his time at Sacramento State but is happier in Colombia.
He tweeted in October: "The time will come for me to tell the truth about Sacramento State.
"But for now I'll just let you guys continue to think that I just forgot how to play and shoot a basketball for two years."
Highler is still with his girlfriend from the show Keira Lusk.
They recently celebrated four years together and Highler credits her with helping him through some tragic moments.
