Talented LSU G plans to enter portal after one season with program
One of LSU's top players is planning to enter the transfer portal, ending his time with the Tigers after just one season.
The LSU Tigers disappointed during the 2025-26 season, finishing with just 15 overall wins and three victories in SEC play. The road forward won't be any easier, as guard Dedan Thomas Jr. , the team's second-leading scorer, plans to enter the transfer portal, per On3's Joe Tipton.
Thomas's tenure with the program ends after just one season, as he averaged 15. 3 points, 2. 7 rebounds and 6.
5 assists per game on 45. 9% from the field and 30. 2% from 3-point range.
His assists mark would've tied for the SEC-lead, but Thomas suffered a foot injury that caused him to miss 16 games including the final month and a half of the season. Without their leading assist man, the Tigers finished the season on a 2-10 skid culminating in a loss to the Kentucky Wildcats in the 1st round of the SEC tournament. NEW: LSU guard Dedan Thomas Jr.
