Ole Miss guard Eduardo Klafke plans to enter Transfer Portal

Danby: Daniel Hager03/27/26DanielHagerOn3

Ole Miss sophomore guard Eduardo Klafke plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. On3’s Joe Tipton reported the news.

The Franca, Brazil native averaged 4.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists for the Rebels last season. Across two seasons in Oxford (70 games), Klafke boasts career averages of 3.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.7 assists. He was tabbed as a three-star in the Class of 2024 by Rivals.

Klafke becomes the first Ole Miss player to announce plans to enter the Portal so far. The Rebels finished with a 15-20 (4-14) record this season and failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, a season removed from making a run to the Sweet 16.

The 6’5″ guard’s best game of the season came in Ole Miss‘ 79-68 loss to Texas on Feb. 7. Klafke contributed 16 points on 7-10 shooting from the floor (2-5 3PT) in the 11-point loss. He has scored in double-figures in just five of his 70 career games.

Ole Miss looks to bounce back from disappointing campaign next season

Ole Miss entered the SEC Tournament this season as losers of 12 of its final 13 regular season games, but upset three NCAA Tournament teams (Texas, Georgia, and Alabama) before falling to Arkansas in the Tournament Semifinals. Following the loss, head coach Chris Beard detailed how he’d ride that momentum into rebuilding this offseason.

“That’s a good question. Probably not in the mental space to answer that fully now,” Beard said. “Obviously, in college basketball, guys choose to go elsewhere; they choose to come back. Each player on our team will have that decision. It will be their decision. It will be a conversation to make sure that both sides align.

“Our relationship with these players is just getting started, whether we coach them next year or not. That’s one thing you can get in our program: we’re going to have your back for the rest of our lives. These guys, hopefully, every single one of them will outlive me by a million years. Till the day I’m not here anymore, we’ll have their backs.”

While Ole Miss will look to bounce back from the down season, Eduardo Klafke will continue his collegiate career elsewhere.
