Kentucky’s frontcourt had a mass exodus this offseason. Nonetheless, one promising forward will be back next season: junior forward Nyah Leveretter.
Almost immediately following the end of Kentucky’s season, Dre’una Edwards, Olivia Owens and Treasure Hunt entered the transfer portal. In the blink of an eye, Leveretter transformed from the most inexperienced post player at Kentucky to a key veteran paint presence.
Through sickness and health
Sudden change is nothing new for Leveretter. The 6-foot-3 forward had a tumultuous sophomore season. Due to a non-COVID-related illness, Leveretter missed the first month of Kentucky’s season.
