Florida head coach Mike White added graduate transfer Brandon McKissic Friday on the heels of a trying 10-day stretch that left the Gators with just five active scholarship players on the roster.
McKissic, a 6-foot-3 guard, announced he was headed to Gainesville after four seasons at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He led the 2020-21 Roos with a scoring average of 17.2 points, shooting 50.8% from the field and 42.9% from 3-point range.
McKissic, who also averaged 1.5 steals and 3.7 rebounds, was a finalist for the Lefty Driesell National Defensive Player of the Year Award.
McKissic will have plenty of opportunity to shine during the 2021-22 season for a Gators’ squad picking up the pieces and scrambling to fill roster spots after unprecedented attrition the past two weeks.
