After three seasons in Lexington, Kentucky mens basketball forward Jacob Toppin has declared for the 2023 NBA Draft.

“Before we even start, I want to thank God, because without Him none of this would be possible,” Toppin said in his announcement on social media. “I want to thank my mom, because without her sacrifice my brother and I would not be the men we are today. I want to thank all my family and friends for supporting me along this journey.”

Toppin began his basketball career at Rhode Island before transferring to Kentucky in 2020.
