A former LSU player with a checkered recent past has decided to start anew at a Conference USA program.
While there’s been no official word from the school, Rivals.com has reported that Jevonte Domond will be transferring into UT-San Antonio and continuing his playing career with the Roadrunners. As the offensive tackle would be coming to UTSA as a graduate transfer, he’d be eligible to play immediately in 2016. This upcoming season will be his final year of eligibility.
Domond transferred from the junior college level to LSU in 2014. That season, Domond played in one game; in 2015, he played in three.
In between, an off-field incident marked his two years with the Tigers.
In May of 2015, Domond was arrested for felony domestic abuse following an alleged incident involving his then-fiancée. Domond allegedly strangled the victim while she stood over the crib of their young child and then, after she attempted to use pepper spray on the player, slammed her onto a couch twice before she got away and drove herself to a police station.
Domond was indefinitely suspended, but then somewhat controversially reinstated two months later while the incident was still pending.
In March of this year, head coach Les Miles confirmed that Domond had graduated and would be pursuing a transfer.
