Former LSU forward Jeremy Combs transferring to Texas Southern: sources

HOUSTON, Texas -- For the second consecutive year, Jeremy Combs will be headed to a new school as a graduate transfer.

The 6-foot-7, 215-pound Combs played six games last year for LSU before an injury ended his season. Now, he's headed to Texas Southern for one more year of basketball, multiple sources confirmed on Saturday afternoon.

CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein was the first to repot the news.

Combs was granted a medical redshirt for the 2017-18 season according to a source and will have one more season of eligibility remaining.

Combs' LSU playing career came to end in December as he was still dealing with an ankle injury he had been dealing with since he was at North Texas, where he spent the first three years of his career.

Last September, Combs had a TightRope procedure on the ankle to try and stabilize it. A TightRope procedure stabilizes damage to an ankle. The TightRope itself is "comprised of a FiberWire loop tensioned and secured between metallic buttons to provide physiologic stabilization of the ankle mortise."
