ISU forward Percy Gibson is transferring from Iowa State following the semester, head coach Fred Hoiberg announced April 7. 

Gibson played in 14 games as a junior, averaging 1.2 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. 

“I spoke with Percy after the season and he indicated a desire to transfer to another school,” Hoiberg said in a statement released April 7. “We thank Percy for his efforts the last three years and will assist him in any way we can.”

Gibson saw the court for single-digit minutes in the final three games in the NCAA tournament but didn’t play in the previous 10. He scored his last bucket against Texas on Jan. 18. 

“I’d like to thank Coach Hoiberg and the rest of the coaches for the opportunity to play at Iowa State,” Gibson said in a statement. “I will take with me the memories and friendships created with my teammates. I also want to thank Iowa State’s fans for their support the last three years.”

With Gibson’s departure, Iowa State now has three open scholarships to fill before next season.
