A Strategic Overhaul for the Bobcats
Paul Djobet, a 6‑foot‑7 forward who concluded his most recent season with the Omaha Mavericks, has officially pledged to Texas State, becoming the fifth newcomer to the Bobcats roster this offseason. His commitment signals the latest move in a busy transfer market that has seen the program aggressively reshape its lineup.
Djobet’s journey includes a stint at the University of Miami, where he started four games and averaged 5.5 points and 2.6 rebounds as a sophomore, followed by a breakout year at Omaha in which he posted 17.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 41.5% from beyond the arc on 4.1 attempts per game.
Texas State’s head coach Terrence Johnson has long championed a style that prioritizes high‑percentage shots near the rim, a philosophy that defined the team’s identity last season when they ranked near the bottom of the nation in three‑point attempts. The departure of guard Dimp Pernell to injury left a void in perimeter shooting, prompting the Bobcats to address the gap through the transfer portal.
The incoming class extends beyond Djobet, featuring forward Quel'Ron House, guard KJ Younger, big man Caleb Stegner and forward Ron Jessamy. Together, they bring a mix of size, skill and veteran experience that Johnson believes will translate into a more balanced and competitive attack as the program readies for its Pac‑12 debut in 2026.
