LSU point guard Curtis Givens entered the NCAA transfer portal, On3’s Pete Nakos has learned. He spent just one year with the Tigers.

Givens played 32 games as a freshman but had pedestrian stats, averaging 18.2 minutes per game. He had 4.8 points per game, 1.7 rebounds per game, 1.6 assists per game, shot 26.9% from the floor and 24.6% from three-point range.

As a member of the Class of 2024, Gives was a four-star recruit out of Memphis (Tenn.) Montverde Academy (Fla.), according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 10 overall prospect in the state, the No. 10 point guard in the class and the No. 61 overall prospect in the class.

On3’s Jamie Shaw identified Givens as a top point guard in the country as a recruit, which is a part of why On3 has him inside the Top 10 overall point guard prospects nationally.

“Curtis Givens is a skilled and confident lead guard,” he said on his scouting report in the winter of 2023. “He has smooth three-point range that extends well beyond the arc. While he will need to continue developing his explosion, he can get to his spots, off the bounce, in the half-court, and has good floor vision. Givens is a modern type guard who can score and facilitate. He should track among the top in his class.”
