Reid Travis made it official Wednesday by tweeting that he will play for Kentucky next season as a graduate transfer.
Travis said he was looking for a program that “aligns my academic and athletic interests.” There was “no better place” to do so than Kentucky, he said.
A two-time all-Pacific 12 selection, Travis is seen as the kind of veteran player who can cement UK’s status as a national championship contender.
“If Reid Travis does go to Kentucky as a grad transfer, the Wildcats might become the favorite to win the national title ...,” ESPN analyst Jeff Goodman tweeted earlier this spring.
