Senior guard Jalyn Patterson is set to redshirt for the 2017-2018 basketball season, according to a press release from LSU.

Patterson will remain at LSU to finish his degree, but will look to continue his basketball career somewhere else after the upcoming year. Patterson will have one more year of eligibility to play college basketball after redshirting this year.

“I am proud and grateful to have had the opportunity to represent and wear the LSU uniform,” Patterson said to TigerRag.com. “Although this decision was difficult, It was something that I had to do. I had to do what was best for me and my future so that I can accomplish the things I need to.”

Patterson was a key component in getting LSU to the 2015 NCAA Tournament, and scored 8 points in a last-second, 66-65 loss to North Carolina State in the Round of 64.

In his three seasons at LSU, Patterson played in 90 games and averaged 5.8 points in 23 minutes a game.

Patterson is now the eighth player from 2016-2017 team to no longer be a part of the LSU basketball team.
