UK basketball picks up another commitment
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WYMT) – Kentucky men’s basketball head coach Mark Pope continues to add to his roster.
On Tuesday, 6-foot-11 big man Brandon Garrison announced on social media that he is transferring to Kentucky. He will have three seasons of eligibility remaining.
Garrison averaged 7.5 points per game and 5.3 rebounds per game in his freshman season at Oklahoma State.
The Oklahoma City Native had a season-high in points against BYU last season, racking up 21 points and five rebounds.
“Brandon’s a McDonald’s All-American and a FIBA U18 Americas gold medalist with Team USA who crushed me at BYU last year and crushed Coach [Alvin] Brooks at Baylor last year,” Pope said. “We’re unbelievably glad he’s on our team now. He’s an incredible person with a brilliant, joyful smile that BBN will fall in love with. We’re really excited about our front line and Brandon will be a key piece to it.”
Complimenting his offensive abilities, Garrison brings a strong shot-blocking presence on defense. He totaled 47 blocks on the 2023-24 season, the fifth-most ever by an Oklahoma State freshman.
