Louisville freshman guard/forward Curtis Williams has entered the NCAA Transfer portal, On3 has learned.

The Michigan native was ranked as a top-100 recruit in the class of 2023, according to the On3 Industry rankings, coming in at No. 96 overall.

Curtis Williams appeared in all 32 games at Louisville this season, making four starts. He averaged 5.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.

Prior to coming to Louisville, Williams attended Brother Rice High School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He averaged 16.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game as a senior. He was named the runner-up up for the Mr. Basketball award in Michigan.

Curtis Williams was one of three Louisville players to either enter the transfer portal or announce plans to enter the transfer portal on Monday.

In addition to Williams, Koron Davis announced plans to enter the transfer portal, while Kaleb Glenn did enter the transfer portal.

Glenn made 32 appearances this season, notching 11 starts. In 14.9 minutes per game, Glenn averaged 3.9 points and 3.6 rebounds while shooting 48.6% from the field.

Kaleb Glenn played high school basketball at La Lumiere High School (KY), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 81 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Transfer portal background information

The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.

The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.

Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.
