Paul Djobet, a 6‑foot‑7 forward known for his lethal three‑point shooting, announced his commitment to Texas State on Monday, marking the fifth transfer to join the Bobcats as they prepare for their much‑anticipated entry into the Pac‑12 in 2026.
A Strategic Shift for Texas State Basketball
Djobet arrives after two seasons at the University of Miami, where he averaged 5.5 points and 2.6 rebounds as a sophomore, and a standout year at Omaha that saw him post 17.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 51.2% overall and 41.5% from beyond the arc.
Head coach Terrence Johnson has built his reputation on an interior‑heavy approach that emphasizes crashing the boards, a philosophy that has left the program lacking in perimeter firepower; the addition of Djobet is seen as a direct response to that need.
The Bobcats’ roster will also welcome transfers such as Quel'Ron House, KJ Younger, Caleb Stegner and Ron Jessamy, while guard Dimp Pernell was lost for the season due to injury, further reshaping the team’s backcourt options.
With the Pac‑12 debut on the horizon, Texas State hopes the new shooting talent will help shift its national ranking from second‑to‑last in three‑point attempts to a more competitive profile, potentially altering the dynamics of its upcoming schedule.
