One of college basketball’s most prolific scorers is switching schools once again, as Kansas State’s PJ Haggerty has decided to enter the transfer portal, according to reports released Tuesday.
The junior guard finished this past season as the country’s fourth-highest scorer with an average of 23.4 points per game. Only three players posted better scoring numbers: BYU’s A.J. Dybantsa at 25.5 points, East Carolina’s Jordan Riley with 23.6 points, and Arkansas’ Darius Acuff Jr. averaging 23.5 points per game.
Beyond his scoring prowess, Haggerty contributed 3.8 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game for the Wildcats this season.
Despite Haggerty’s individual success, Kansas State endured a difficult campaign.
The Wildcats posted a disappointing 12-20 record under former head coach Jerome Tang, who was dismissed, and later interim coach Matthew Driscoll. The team managed just a 3-15 conference record in Big 12 play.
Following the hiring of new head coach Casey Alexander from Belmont on March 13, the program faces an immediate roster overhaul. Haggerty joins four other players who have entered the transfer portal: Abdi Bashir, David Castillo, Stephen Osei, and Exavier Wilson.
This marks Haggerty’s fourth school change in as many years. The versatile guard has maintained over 20 points per game across three consecutive seasons while playing for Tulsa, Memphis, and Kansas State. His collegiate career began in 2022-23 at TCU, though he played in only six contests, which preserves his eligibility through the 2026-27 season.
