Kentucky forward Mouhamed Dioubate has committed to LSU out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. Dioubate spent the last year with the Wildcats.
Previously, he had suited up for Alabama for two seasons before transferring within the SEC. He had his most productive season to date at Kentucky.
Mouhamed Dioubate logged 10 starts in 31 appearances. He averaged a career-high 8.8 points, while also chipping in 5.5 rebounds per game. He also perfectly averaged an assist, a block and a steal per game.
While Dioubate had shown some ability to drift out to 3-point range during his final season at Alabama, he was far less effective in that capacity at Kentucky. He shot 46.2% from 3-point range on 26 attempts at Alabama in 2024-25, but his percentage dipped to 21.4% on 28 attempts at Kentucky in 2025-26.
Regardless, he’s a high-motor player who checks in at 6 foot 7, 220 pounds. He should be a strong fit for new LSU coach Will Wade‘s system.
