The Kentucky Wildcats have secured a significant addition to their men’s basketball roster with the commitment of former Pittsburgh point guard Jaland Lowe.
The 6-foot-3 guard from Missouri City, Texas, announced his transfer to Kentucky on April 5, 2025. Lowe, who earned third-team All-ACC honors last season, brings two years of eligibility to the Wildcats.
During his sophomore year at Pittsburgh, Lowe showcased his versatility by averaging 16.8 points, 5.5 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game.
Notable performances included back-to-back 20-point games to start the season and a 28-point effort against Ohio State in late November.
His ability to contribute across multiple statistical categories highlights his potential impact on Kentucky’s backcourt.
Lowe’s commitment marks the second transfer portal addition for Kentucky this offseason, following the acquisition of Tulane shooting guard Kam Williams.
Head coach Mark Pope continues to strategically bolster the roster in preparation for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
Fans and analysts alike are optimistic about Lowe’s potential to lead the Wildcats’ offense and elevate the team’s performance in the competitive SEC landscape.
