The Kentucky Wildcats basketball program is showing interest in Kennard Davis Jr., a 6-6 forward who recently transferred from Brigham Young University (BYU). During the 2025-26 season, Davis averaged 8.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, starting all 32 games. He was a significant contributor, scoring in double figures 11 times, including a notable 20-point performance against West Virginia in the Big 12 Tournament. Prior to BYU, Davis had a successful stint at Southern Illinois, where he averaged 16.3 points per game and received Second Team All-Missouri Valley Conference honors. His ability to play multiple positions on the wing and contribute defensively aligns with Kentucky's strategy of recruiting versatile players through the transfer portal. Despite shooting 32.1 percent from the 3-point range at BYU, he demonstrated potential as a shooter, highlighted by a game against No. 1 Arizona where he made five consecutive 3-pointers in a half. With interest from several high-major programs, Kentucky aims to position itself as a top choice for Davis as they prepare for the upcoming season.
