Wake Forest transfer Olivier Sarr told ESPN Wednesday he is transferring to Kentucky for his final season of collegiate eligibility. The story was posted to ESPN.com by Jeff Borzello and Jonathan Givony Wednesday afternoon.
“I felt that was the best fit and the best opportunity for me,” Sarr told ESPN. “Being able to play for that great program and showcase my winning drive on that stage. Coach Cal made me understand that I was needed over there.”
Not long after the news broke, Sarr released a message thanking Wake Forest Fans for their support. He also lets Big Blue Nation know he is ready to get started.
The 7-foot, 255-pound center will apply for a waiver to receive immediate eligibility for the 2020-21 season.
