Kentucky men’s basketball grabbed another transfer on Sunday night as Wake Forest’s Andrew Carr announced on Instagram that he would be committing to UK.

The 6-foot, 10-inch forward averaged 13.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists through 35 contests while shooting 52.6% from the field and 37.1% from deep. 

The Pennsylvania native played his first two college seasons in Newark, Delaware, with the Blue Hens where he averaged 8.2 points his freshman year and ten points his sophomore year. 

Delaware clinched a 2022 NCAA Tournament berth and fell to Villanova in the first round 80-60. Carr scored 13 points that game while managing to grab three boards and throw one assist.  

At the conclusion of the 2023 season — his first season with Wake Forest — Carr finished with an average of 10.7 points, six rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game.

Carr joined the likes of Amari Williams, Brandon Garrison and Otega Oweh in committing to Mark Pope and Kentucky.
