New Kentucky head coach Mark Pope’s leading scorer from a season ago at BYU is following him to Lexington.
BYU transfer Jaxson Robinson has withdrawn from the NBA Draft and has signed wwith Kentucky.
“Jaxson Robinson has been one of the most improved players in the country for two straight years and is barely scratching the surface of his potential,” Pope said via press release. “His growth trajectory is incredible. He is an elite level shooter, is increasingly dangerous off the bounce and at the rim and has the potential to become a big-time playmaker. Jaxson guards with length and balance and understands how important it is to build strong relationships with his teammates. On a personal level, I’m so excited I get to finish his college journey with him in pursuit of Kentucky’s ninth national championship.”
Robinson, a 6-foot-7 guard, the 2023-24 Big 12 sixth man of the year, has one year of college eligibility remaining.
A native of Ada, Oklahoma, Robinson signed with Texas A&M as a four-star prospect in the class of 2020. He played in 14 games and made four starts for the Aggies and averaged 2.1 points per game and 1.1 rebounds in an average of 9.8 minutes per game.
