Travis Perry enters the transfer portal
Lexington, Ky. (FOX 56) — Travis Perry entered his name just before the college basketball transfer portal closed on Tuesday night. The Eddyville native had been a fan favorite of Big Blue Nation, along with fellow freshman and Kentuckian Trent Noah.
Perry had a storied career at Lyon County High School. He led Lyons to their first-ever state championship in 2024, and for his efforts, he was named Mr. Kentucky Basketball. Perry also owns the all-time KHSAA scoring record with 5,481 career points, which is the seventh-most all-time in the entire country, according to MaxPreps.
