BREAKING: Oklahoma State transfer Brandon Garrison commits to Kentucky
How about our first real curveball of the Mark Pope era in Lexington? He threw it and the pitch landed in the form of Oklahoma State center Brandon Garrison.
On3’s Joe Tipton was the first to break the news on Tuesday.
The 6-foot-11 freshman and former McDonald’s All-American chose the Wildcats over Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, among others. He averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game this season for the Cowboys.

Coming out of Del City (OK) High School, Garrison was considered a four-star recruit and a top 50 prospect from the class of 2023, according to the On3 Industry Ranking. Beyond Burger Boy accolades, he was also the Gatorade and MaxPreps Player of the Year in Oklahoma. He originally committed to Oklahoma State over the likes of Arkansas, Kansas, LSU and Texas.
Garrison reached the 20-point threshold three times this past season: 21 against BYU, 20 against Baylor, and 20 against West Virginia. Oklahoma State went 2-1 in those contests. He recorded one double-double, which came against South Carolina State: 11 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks.
Now, he’s officially a Kentucky Wildcat — another major surprise for Pope.
