Arkansas forward Trevon Brazile to declare for NBA Draft

Arkansas junior forward Trevon Brazile is expected to declare for the 2024 NBA Draft and sign an agent, according to a report from Jonathan Givony.

The news comes not long after multiple reports on Sunday that Kentucky's John Calipari will be named the head coach of the Razorbacks.

A former Missouri transfer, Brazile had a setback season in 2023-24 littered with inconsistency due to injury. After starting the season with eight double-digit performances in non-conference play — including a 19-point, 11-rebound outing against then No. 7 Duke — the 6-foot-10, 220-pound forward had just three games in SEC play with at least 10 points.

After suffering a knee injury in a Jan. 24 loss to Ole Miss, Brazile missed a month of playing time and didn't see the court again for the Hogs until Feb. 24 against Missouri.

A high-flying leaper with extreme athleticism, Brazile averaged 8.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 0.5 assists this season while shooting 48.8% from the field, 35.3% from beyond the arch and 69.5% from the charity stripe.

During his initial season in Fayetteville (2022-23), Brazile flashed All-SEC potential in nine games with three 20+ point outings. Brazile's sophomore season ended abruptly in a Dec. 6 win over UNC Greensboro after suffering a torn ACL.

Following Brazile's expected departure, nine players — Denijay Harris, Keyon Menifield Jr., Joseph Pinion, Davonte Davis, Layden Blocker, Baye Fall, Khalif Battle, Tramon Mark and now Brazile— have announced their intentions to exit the program.
