Kansas Guard AJ Storr transfers to his fourth school in four years

Kansas guard AJ Storr was on the move again, as he transferred to Ole Miss, marking his fourth school in as many years. Storr spent the 2024-25 season with the Kansas Jayhawks before it was reported that he announced his decision to join the Rebels on Tuesday.

His move came as Kansas faces a wave of roster changes following a disappointing first-round exit in the NCAA Tournament. With Zeke Mayo entering the portal and Hunter Dickinson graduating, Bill Self's squad is set for a rebuild.

Storr began his college career at St. John’s in 2022-23, where he averaged 8.8 points across 17 starts. He then transferred to Wisconsin for the 2023-24 season, starting all 36 games and averaging 16.8 points, his best season to date. That breakout year raised expectations when he committed to Kansas the following offseason.

The 6-foot-5 guard struggled to find consistent minutes and finished the season with career lows in nearly every category. He averaged just 6.1 points per game while playing 15.7 minutes per game and making four starts. Storr put up single-digit minutes in five of the final six games before the NCAA Tournament and managed a 15-point performance in Kansas’ tournament loss to Arkansas.

Storr has now played in the Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, and will suit up in the SEC next season. His transfer to Ole Miss adds firepower to a Rebels squad that just reached the Sweet 16 before falling to Michigan State. Coach Chris Beard will welcome Storr’s talents and veteran presence as the program aims to build on last season’s postseason success.
