Kentucky men’s basketball received a surprise commitment on Tuesday morning as Oklahoma State transfer Brandon Garrison announced via his Instagram that he has committed to Kentucky.

Garrison — who is going into his sophomore year — averaged 7.5 points with the Cowboys his freshman campaign, while grabbing 5.3 boards and helping with 1.5 assists per game.

The 6-foot, 11-inch center shaped a field goal percentage of 57.2% and a free throw percentage of 64.8% through 32 games on an average of 22.6 minutes. 

As a recruit in 2023, Garrison was ranked No. 45 in the nation and now as a transfer, he is ranked No. 21 overall and No. 4 as a center.

The Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, native is a former McDonald’s All-American who participated as a member of the 2023 class. In the all-star game, Garrison dropped ten points and helped with four rebounds and one assist. 

Kentucky’s 2024-25 roster is still yet to be full, however, it is coming along slowly but surely as there are now eight official players listed on the squad.
