Another Kentucky Wildcat is making an early departure from Lexington.

Unlike the news of TyTy Washington declaring for the NBA Draft on Wednesday, this time it's a player in search of a new college home.

Freshman forward Bryce Hopkins announced via Twitter that he has entered the transfer portal after struggling to find consistent minutes in John Calipari's rotation this season. The 6-foot-6 Illinois native failed to appear in five of the Wildcats' final 13 games and received only seven minutes of playing time after scoring a career-high 13 points in a Feb. 23 win over LSU.

His outlook did not look much better for 2022-23 with Oscar Tshiebwe, Keion Brooks Jr., Jacob Toppin, Lance Ware, and Daimion Collins all with a chance to return in the frontcourt, and the signing of elite prospect Chris Livingston.

Hopkins averaged 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. He shot 43% from the field, 31% from the 3-point arc, and 54% at the free-throw line.
