Kentucky freshman Jordan Burks entered his name into the transfer portal on Friday, becoming the final scholarship player on Kentucky’s roster to depart the program following John Calipari’s departure.

The news was made public by Jamie Shaw of On3.

A former three-star recruit out of Arizona, Burks was unable to carve out the role he would have liked on the Cats’ roster after being forced to play big with all three seven footers facing injuries or eligibility concerns.

Shifting back into his traditional role when they returned, Burks saw his minutes decrease over the course of the season.
