Kentucky guard Jaland Lowe plans to enter transfer portal
Kentucky guard Jaland Lowe plans to enter the transfer portal, he told On3.
The 6-foot-1 junior appeared in just nine games this season for the Wildcats after suffering a shoulder injury that required season-ending surgery. In those games, Lowe averaged 8.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.
He played in fewer than 30% of Kentucky’s games this season, meaning he should qualify for a medical redshirt, which would give him two additional years of eligibility.
Lowe becomes the first Kentucky player to declare his intentions to transfer.
The Missouri City, Texas native began his career at Pitt, playing two seasons for the Panthers. In his sophomore season at Pitt, he averaged 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game, earning third-team All-ACC honors.
As a freshman, Lowe averaged 9.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game.
Coming out of high school, Lowe was ranked as a four-star and the No. 88 overall recruit in the 2023 class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking.
