Keith Williams, UC Bearcats transfer, receives interest from four schools, per report

Keith Williams, the Cincinnati Bearcats' leading scorer last season as a senior guard, said he's receiving interest from Arkansas, Maryland, Florida and Western Kentucky, according to a report Friday via Twitter from CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein.

In April, Williams declared for the 2021 NBA Draft and said he'd sign with an agent. In June, he entered the transfer portal.

Williams played four seasons at UC, but can play an extra season thanks to the NCAA's free year of eligibility related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Williams' scoring average increased each year with the Bearcats, from 3.1 points per game as a freshman, to 9.9 as a sophomore, to 12.6 as a junior to 14.3 last season. He also averaged 4.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game as a senior and was named Second Team All-AAC.
