Kentucky Eyes Liberty Guard Brett Decker Jr.

Brett Decker Jr., a 2025‑26 First‑Team All‑Conference USA guard from Liberty, is a top transfer target for Kentucky as the Wildcats look to bolster their 3‑point shooting.

Brett Decker Jr., a 6‑ft‑5 guard from Elizabethtown, Kentucky, posted 16.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 47.1% from beyond the arc for Liberty in 2025‑26, earning First‑Team All‑Conference USA honors.

Kentucky’s Mark Pope, who built his first roster on transfers, sees Decker’s shooting prowess as a perfect fit for a system that struggled with 3‑point consistency last season, making him a name to watch when the transfer portal opens on April 7.
