UConn coach Dan Hurley announced Thursday that junior guard Alterique Gilbert will transfer.
He will have one year of eligibility.
The former McDonald’s All-American from Georgia had an injury-plagued career at UConn, where he averaged 8.5 points, 3.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds last season.
“He needs a fresh start, an opportunity to find a place that can give him everything he needs,” Hurley said.
UConn also loses guard Christian Vital to graduation.
