LSU transfer Corey Chest commits to Ole Miss

LSU transfer Corey Chest committed to Ole Miss, On3’s Joe Tipton reported Sunday. This is the first commitment for Chris Beard and the Rebels from the transfer portal.

He redshirted his first season in Baton Rouge then played a big role this season. Chest is fresh off an Alabama visit while programs like Auburn, Texas A&M and Georgia have also come calling.

Chest made 26 appearances for LSU this season, including 19 starts. He averaged 6.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 60.7% from the field. LSU head coach Matt McMahon praised the former four-star in the class of 2023 after his strong play against Alabama this year.

“He just has a natural feel for how to go chase rebounds and pursue the ball, and he continues to do it at a high level,” McMahon said. “One of the better instinctual rebounders I’ve been around in my time.”
