JUST IN: Another departure for LSU Tigers. Top profile player leaves.

LSU guard Carlos Stewart has become the second Tigers basketball player to enter the transfer portal since it opened March 18.

Stewart joins forward Mwani Wilkinson in the portal, which has been rather quiet for LSU over the past 3½ weeks after two busy offseasons for coach Matt McMahon and his staff.

A former Dunham School standout, the 6-foot-1 Stewart transferred to LSU last spring after two seasons at Santa Clara. He played in 13 games with nine starts before a knee problem sidelined him for the final 19 games.

Stewart averaged 4.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists with his hometown team.

LSU has signed one player out of the portal for next season — former Kansas State combo guard Cam Carter.

LSU defensive end Jaxon Howard, once a Gophers recruiting target, enters transfer portal.

Jaxon Howard was flooded with offers coming out of Robbinsdale Cooper and considered the Gophers before selecting LSU.

Former Cooper star and LSU defensive end Jaxon Howard, one of the most highly touted high school football recruits from Minnesota in recent years, is on the market again.

Howard played five games as a true freshman at LSU last season and participated in spring practice, but he’s entering the transfer portal, according to multiple reports Wednesday.

A 6-4, 240-pound Minneapolis native, Howard was a four-star prospect and the No. 1 player in the state of Minnesota’s 2023 class.

Gophers coach P.J. Fleck received an official visit from Howard in high school. The Gophers were among his finalists with Miami and Michigan before he signed with the Tigers in July 2022. Howard’s most productive game for LSU came against Wisconsin in the Jan. 1 ReliaQuest Bowl, when he had one tackle and a quarterback hurry against the Badgers.

Fleck and the Gophers will be looking in the transfer portal to add depth on both sides of the ball for the 2024 season.
