NORMAL – Sophomore center Reggie Lynch is transferring from the Illinois State men’s basketball team, head coach Dan Muller announced Tuesday.

“Reggie has decided to go back closer to home to finish his college career,” Muller said. “This does not change any of the goals or expectations that we have for our team and our program. Every Redbird player is committed and excited about what we are working toward for next year and beyond. We cannot wait to bring some joy and excitement to Redbird Nation.”

Lynch played in 33 of ISU’s 35 games in 2014-15, making 30 starts. He led the team in blocks (2.8 per game), while ranking third in scoring (9.5 points per game) and second in rebounding (5.4 per game).

“I really and truly would like to thank the ISU family for letting me represent and be a part of the Redbird pride, and I would also like to thank the University and basketball program for everything they have done for me,” Lynch said.

The Edina, Minnesota, native earned All-MVC Tournament Team accolades in 2014-15 and was named to the All-MVC Second Team and the All-Defensive Team.
