Former West Virginia forward Tre Mitchell has found his next school. Mitchell who entered the transfer portal late last week has announced that he’ll continue his collegiate career at the University of Kentucky on Twitter
This will be the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native’s fourth program. He previously spent time at UMass, Texas, and of course West Virginia. With UMass, he was a two-time All-A-10 selection and was the A-10 Rookie of the Year for the 2019-2020 seasons. After averaging 18.8 points per game during his two seasons with UMass, Mitchell would transfer to Texas following the 2020-2021 season.
In his lone season in Austin, he averaged 8.2 points per game over 24 total games while also averaging 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists. Following Shaka Smart’s departure to Marquette, Mitchell would transfer to West Virginia.
For the Mountaineers this past season, Mitchell had a quality season, averaging 11.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. He was tied as the Mountaineers’ second-highest scorer this past season, only behind Erik Stevenson who averaged 15.4 points for West Virginia.

Mitchell will join a Kentucky team that went 22-12 this past season and made the NCAA Tournament as a No. 6 seed in the East Region. The Wildcats would defeat Providence in the first round before losing to Kansas State in the Round of 32.
Mitchell was one of three Mountaineers to enter the transfer portal last week joining Kerr Krissa and Joe Toussaint. Krissa, however, has already removed his name from the portal and will return to Morgantown.
