The curious case of Travonte Valentine has taken a new turn, and this time it appears the door has closed on his future with the LSU program.

The Geaux247 staff has confirmed that Valentine will transfer to Arizona Western Community College. Valentine struggled with academics during his one year in Baton Rouge, failing to become cleared before the season began, which forced him to take a redshirt last fall. Valentine didn't participate in spring practices, instead focusing on academics.

Valentine was a Top 100 prospect in LSU's 2014 class, arriving to Baton Rouge as the No. 3 defensive tackle prospect in the country.

LSU also lost another Top 100 prospect from the 2014 class in former five-star linebacker Clifton Garrett, who also transferred to Arizona Western Community College earlier this summer.
