The LSU Tigers and head coach Matt McMahon landed what was a notable commitment to their 2024-25 roster Friday via the transfer portal, as Kansas State guard Cam Carter has officially committed to the SEC program.
A player who originally began his collegiate career in the SEC at Mississippi State, the Kansas State transfer is coming off a breakout 2023-24 season with the Wildcats where he averaged 14.6 PPG, 5 RPG, 2.6 APG, and 1.4 SPG. In addition to those numbers, Carter also started all 34 games for Kansas State, and shot 39.1% from the field, 30.9% from three, and 84% from the free throw line.
Carter was at Kansas State each of the past two seasons, where he has started all 70 games during that span. Over those two years, Carter averaged 10.4 PPG, 4 RPG, 2 APG, and 1.2 SPG on 38.8%/31.8%/80.9% shooting.
Carter’s time at Mississippi State also lasted only one season, where he would average 2.2 PPG across 27 games, four of which he started.
