Trent Noah confirms return to Kentucky Basketball for sophomore season

Trent Noah, a Harlan County native and Kentucky Wildcats wing, announced he will return for his sophomore season, becoming the third Wildcat to confirm his return alongside Collin Chandler and Brandon Garrison. As a freshman, Noah averaged 2.7 points and 1.9 rebounds per game, shooting 45.1% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range. Injuries to key teammates last season gave Noah opportunities for expanded playing time, where he notably scored a season-high 11 points against Tennessee and contributed in multiple SEC and NCAA Tournament games. His on-court performance and strong connection to Kentucky have made him a fan favorite, and he is expected to compete for minutes on a deep roster next season. Noah's return is seen as a boost to the Wildcats as they continue assembling their lineup for the coming year under head coach Mark Pope.
