LSU has secured the commitment of transfer guard Austin Nunez, who most recently played for UTSA. This move brings Nunez to a new opportunity on a larger stage.
During his season with UTSA, Nunez achieved career bests across multiple statistical categories, averaging 9.8 points, 2.8 assists, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. Despite these improvements, his career has seen periods of limited play.
Nunez's shooting percentages have varied, with a notable drop in three-point accuracy this past season, despite a career-high in attempts. However, he remains a highly effective free-throw shooter, maintaining an 85.4% career average from the line.
His collegiate journey began at Arizona State, followed by a stint at Ole Miss, and then a return to Arizona State for a brief period before transferring to UTSA. Nunez is now set to provide backcourt support for new LSU coach Will Wade.
