Donnie Freeman Enters Transfer Portal After Two Seasons at Syracuse

His move makes him a top transfer target for power programs, including Kentucky.

Overview

Freeman, who entered the NCAA transfer portal Tuesday, drew immediate interest from Kentucky, according to Kentucky Sports Radio.
He averaged 16.5 points and 7.2 rebounds in 2025–26 and earned All-ACC honorable mention despite missing time with injury.
USA Today ranks the 6-foot-9 forward No. 10 among available transfers, signaling strong market value.
He has two seasons of eligibility left and showed stretch skills by hitting 30.2% from three on 3.7 attempts per game.
His exit makes him the sixth Syracuse player from last season to seek a move, deepening the Orange’s roster turnover.
