Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Collin Chandler, the Kentucky guard, reportedly entered the NCAA transfer portal in early April 2026. This move has been covered by On3 and Yardbarker, noting his two seasons at Kentucky and his eligibility remaining for two more years at a new program [sources: On3, Yardbarker].[1][2]
- Coverage through mid-April 2026 indicated strong interest around Chandler as a transfer target, with multiple outlets (Fox Sports, UK Athletics coverage) continuing to track his status and performance at Kentucky prior to the portal decision. This includes notes on his scoring and three-point shooting in the 2025-26 season and his role as a guard for the Wildcats [sources: Fox Sports, UK Athletics].[3][4]
- Additional context from transfer-focused outlets and podcasts around that time suggested BYU and BYU-related coverage began evaluating fit for Chandler, given his Utah roots and prior recruitment history, though no final destination had been confirmed publicly at that moment [sources: Locked On Cougars, YouTube transfer discourse].[5][8]
If you’d like, I can compile a concise snapshot of likely destinations for Chandler based on current portal activity and recent rumors, or track updates in real time and share the latest confirmed destination as soon as it’s reported. Would you prefer a quick rumors-to-confirmed-destination rundown or a recommendation of likely fits given his style and two-year eligibility?
