LEXINGTON, Ky. — Jaxon Kohler, a highly sought-after forward, has chosen to stay at BYU instead of joining the University of Kentucky. The 6-foot-9-inch player, who played four years at Michigan State, was granted an extra year of eligibility. Kohler averaged 12.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, and shot 50% from the field during his time at Michigan State.
He entered the transfer portal on Tuesday and ultimately decided to remain at BYU. This decision leaves Kentucky to continue exploring other options, including Mark Mitchell and Keyshawn Hall, who both have additional years of eligibility. Mitchell's fifth year is still awaiting court approval, while Hall is still evaluating potential programs. Kentucky is still searching for their 15th player ahead of the upcoming season.
