In just a matter of a few hours Friday, Kentucky veteran Brandon Garrison and freshman Jasper Johnson reportedly has said they will enter the transfer portal.

Garrison has opted to enter the portal after two seasons at Kentucky after playing a big role in two victories in the Southeastern Conference Tournament and a first-round win over Santa Clara in the NCAA Tournament.

Garrison played in 35 of 36 games last season and averaged 5.9 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in his first year. He scored 4.7 points and grabbed an average of 4.1 rebounds per game this season and played 16 minutes per contest.

Johnson, son of former Kentucky football standout Dennis Johnson, averaged 4.9 points, 1.6 assists, and 1.1 rebounds per game. He averaged 12 minutes in 35 appearances this season.

After losing point guard Jaland Lowe to a shoulder injury, Johnson was thrust into more of a point-guard role as opposed to his traditional position on the court.

“Jasper Johnson had moments of his season that were super frustrating for him, for sure,” Kentucky coach Mark Pope said recently. “It really wasn’t fair to ask him to play the backup point guard role, but it was something we needed.”

After the team’s loss to Iowa State in the NCAA Tournament, Johnson said his main emphasis was to get better, stronger, and keep growing as a player.

Lowe, Johnson and Garrison are the first three players from the UK roster to say they will enter the portal, which officially opens on Monday.
