Krysten Hammon decided on Wednesday to transfer from Georgia State, according to coach Trent Miles.

The release from his scholarship will be effective at the end of the semester. The only restriction Miles put on Hammon’s transfer was that he can’t enroll at other Sun Belt schools or at future opponents.

Hammon, a freshman from Texas, has rushed for 197 yards and two touchdowns in two games. He was suspended for the game against Air Force and didn’t travel with the team to Seattle.

The Panthers (1-3) are off this week and play at Lousiana-Lafayette next week.
