Former LSU basketball player Darcy Malone has transferred to Cal State Fullerton, he announced on Instagram Wednesday evening.

Excited to announce that I have decided to join the men’s basketball team at #CSUF for grad school, and my final year of athletic eligibility. Of course it has been difficult to leave behind my team, friends, and fans that I loved being around and considered family at LSU, and I will always remain #foreverLSU because of the opportunities that I was able to attain. Looking forward to a great season with a great group of guys that I know can make a big impact in NCAA basketball. #tusksup #ilookdopey #ialsolooksexay #lsugrad #harambe

The news comes as no surprise. Malone graduated in July after just three seasons in Baton Rouge, freeing him up to remain eligible immediately as a graduate transfer. The Canberra, Australia native played in 63 games during his LSU career, averaging 1.0 PPG and 1.2 RPG. He was not listed on the roster page for LSU Basketball at LSUSports.net, which came out last week.

Malone’s departure leaves one scholarship open for LSU entering the season.
