Matt Haarms commits to BYU

The Kentucky Wildcats’ top transfer target has made his decision.

Former Purdue Boilermakers center Matt Haarms has committed to Mark Pope and the BYU Cougars, he announced Thursday. Haarms is ranked as the second-best grad transfer by ESPN.

Almost as soon as Haarms announced he was leaving Purdue last week, Kentucky reached out, and even incoming Wildcat Terrence Clarke said he’d like to see Haarms in Lexington. From there, the buzz that Haarms would land in Lexington continued to grow to the point it looked like he may commit to the Wildcats over the weekend.
