TJ Holyfield, a 6-foot-8, 227-pound graduate transfer from Stephen F. Austin, is planning on visiting Kansas, he announced Thursday on Twitter.

Holyfield — he has a list of KU, Illinois, Texas Tech, Miami and Oregon — missed last season because of a dislocated shoulder. He averaged 12.9 points (on 54.8 percent shooting, 28 of 68 from three, 41.2 percent) and 6.4 rebounds a game during the 2016-17 campaign. He reported on Twitter he would visit all five finalists.

Current Illinois coach Brad Underwood is the coach who signed Holyfield at SFA.
