He was part of a 31-win season at Murray State as the Racers reached the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament after a 20-0 championship year in the Ohio Valley Conference.

“We are extremely excited to welcome Trae Hannibal to the LSU family,” said Coach McMahon. “He had an outstanding sophomore season at Murray State. When he decided that he wanted to make a change, he was flooded with offers. We wanted to make sure we had the opportunity to coach him here at LSU.

“He is an explosive guard who will impact our program at both ends of the court. We love his ability to attack off the dribble, his unselfishness, and his aggressiveness on defense. We look forward to his arrival in Baton Rouge this summer.” Read more.
