Morehead State graduate transfer guard Corban Collins is transferring to Alabama, sources told AL.com.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Collins, who began his college career at LSU, averaged 11 points per game as a redshirt junior at Morehead State last season.

This fills a need for coach Avery Johnson and the Tide, adding a veteran, proven option it previously lacked at guard after losing first-team All-SEC guard Retin Obasohan and guard Justin Coleman, who recently transferred to Samford.

While Collins shot just 39 percent from the field last season, he made 42 percent of his 3-point attempts for 23-14 Morehead State.

He also averaged 3.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals.

The North Carolina native scored a career-high 28 points during an overtime loss to Eastern Illinois. He was 10 of 16 from the field, 5 of 8 on 3-pointers, and had five rebounds and three assists.

Collins started six games as a freshman at LSU in 2012-13. He transferred to Morehead State following that season.
