North Carolina State has announced that sophomore point guard Tyler Lewis will transfer from the school. Mark Gottfried issued a short press release simply saying "I wish Tyler the best."
"I'd like to thank NC State, my teammates and coaches and the Wolfpack Nation for the past two years," said Lewis. "While I will be finishing my career at another school, I will always be grateful for the opportunity at NC State.
There was speculation after last season that Lewis may transfer with Cat Barber coming on campus. Barber and Lewis rarely saw time on the floor together this season and likely led to the Lewis transfer.
Lewis will receive plenty of interest and should have his choice between a lower major conference school and higher mid-major offers.
