Drexel transfer Amari Williams has committed to Kentucky, his agent George Langberg of GSL Sports Group told ESPN on Sunday.
Williams chose the Wildcats over Mississippi State, with St. John’s eliminated from consideration earlier in the weekend. He visited Lexington this weekend, and Mark Pope secured his first big transfer commitment. Williams is a three-time CAA Defensive Player of the Year winner and earned first-team CAA honors in each of the past two seasons. He averaged 13.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in the 2022-23 season and put up 12.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in the past campaign.
Williams tallied eight double-doubles this past season, including 12 points and 15 rebounds against West Virginia. He also went for 20 points and eight boards against NCAA tournament participant Charleston.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter’s Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
