Jae’Lyn Withers is the latest current Cardinal to announce that he’s returning to U of L to be a part of the start of the Kenny Payne era.
After redshirting in 2019-20 and then having a productive redshirt freshman campaign as a starter in 2020-21, Withers never found his footing this past season. He had positive performances against Notre Dame, North Carolina and others late in the year, but still posted disappointing averages of 5.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game for the season.
Still, it’s hard to imagine that Withers wouldn’t have had a host of high-profile programs coming after him in the portal.
