Travis Perry Transfers to Ole Miss Basketball

Former Kentucky guard Travis Perry, Kentucky’s all-time leading high school scorer and last year’s Mr. Kentucky Basketball, has transferred to Ole Miss after entering the transfer portal following his freshman year at UK. Perry averaged 2.7 points and 9.7 minutes per game in 31 appearances, with a season highlight of 12 points against Alabama. Ole Miss coach Chris Beard, who has long recruited Perry, praised his passion and sees him as a good fit for the Rebels’ revamped roster. Perry joins four other transfers as Ole Miss rebuilds after losing several key players, aiming to improve on last season’s 24-12 record. Perry cited the program’s strong culture and Beard’s endorsement as key factors in his decision. His arrival is expected to provide scoring and ball-handling depth as Ole Miss prepares for the upcoming season.
