Three Men's Basketball Transfers

USC men's basketball redshirt juniors Darion Clark and Katin Reinhardt as well as sophomore Malik Martin have been granted releases to transfer out of the program by head coach Andy Enfield. Clark, who expects to graduate this spring, and Reinhardt, who anticipates graduating in the summer, will be immediately eligible next season under grad transfer rules, but Martin will be forced to sit out a year as an undergraduate.

Clark spent two seasons at USC after arriving as a transfer from UNC Charlotte. He was massive for the Trojans this year on the boards, collecting 4.6 rebounds per game despite playing only 11.1 minutes per contest. He missed eight games, including the NCAA Tournament, with a shoulder injury.

I just want to thank the Trojan family for an amazing last few years! I will graduate and transfer to continue my graduate degree.

Reinhardt, who transferred to USC from UNLV, played in all 34 games for the Trojans this season, including starting 18, and he was one of five players to average double figures in scoring. He tied for the team lead with 60 made threes and led the team in free throw percentage (min. 10 attempts). Reinhardt was USC's leading scorer in 2014-15.

Thank you so much! My past two years here have been amazing!???? #FightOn https://t.co/gjud5lgjw2

Martin played sparingly this season, averaging 6.6 minutes per game in 27 appearances, but he started 15 games as a true freshman. The Florida native will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
