Travis Perry, Top KY Freshman, Enters Portal

Travis Perry, Kentucky's all-time leading high school scorer and 2024 Mr. Basketball, entered the NCAA transfer portal just hours before the spring window closed after his freshman season with the Wildcats. He averaged 2.7 points per game in a reserve role over 31 appearances, stepping up notably when injuries impacted the team's backcourt. Perry's decision to transfer was influenced by Kentucky's recent addition of Florida transfer Denzel Aberdeen, creating a more competitive guard rotation. He joins Kerr Kriisa as the only Kentucky scholarship players to enter the portal this offseason, while other teammates have decided to return. Perry's high school career was highlighted by breaking state records and leading Lyon County to a state championship. His departure leaves Kentucky with a significant roster change heading into next season.
