Collin Chandler has 'left the door open' for a potential return to Kentucky
Collin Chandler entered his name into the transfer portal on Thursday, but On3's Joe tipton reports Kentucky is still in the race.
www.on3.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent public reporting:
-
Collin Chandler appears to be in the transfer portal discussions with Kentucky still considered a contender by some outlets, though BYU has been highlighted as a frontrunner in various reports. Some updates suggest Chandler left the door open to a possible return to Kentucky depending on ongoing conversations.[1][6]
-
Other outlets note Chandler’s transfer portal activity and provide context on his 2025-26 season stats (roughly 9.7 PPG, strong shooting), with continued scrutiny of where he might land next.[3][1]
-
In addition, Kentucky and UK athletics materials from prior years profile Chandler as a 6-foot-4 guard with four years of eligibility left when he joined, and recent coverage continues to follow his portal status and potential NIL/roster-fit considerations.[4][8]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to a single, most credible update or look for any official statements from Collin Chandler, Kentucky, or BYU announced in the past 24–48 hours. I can also monitor for a confirmed destination and summarize with citations.
