The nation's fourth-leading scorer will be on the move for the fourth time in four offseasons, as Kansas State guard PJ Haggerty entered the transfer portal, multiple outlets reported on Tuesday.

As a junior this past season, Haggerty averaged 23.4 points per game, putting him behind only BYU's A.J. Dybantsa (25.5), East Carolina's Jordan Riley (23.6) and Arkansas' Darius Acuff Jr. (23.5).

Haggerty also averaged 3.8 assists and 5.3 rebounds for the Wildcats.

Kansas State, however, struggled.

Under the guidance of fired coach Jerome Tang and then interim coach Matthew Driscoll, the Wildcats sank to a 12-20 overall record, including a 3-15 mark in the Big 12.

Kansas State hired Belmont's Casey Alexander on March 13, and Alexander will have to engage in a roster rebuild straight away. Five players have now entered the portal: Haggerty, Abdi Bashir, David Castillo, Stephen Osei and Exavier Wilson.

Haggerty has averaged more than 20 points per game in three straight seasons at Tulsa, Memphis and Kansas State. His first year (2022-23) was at TCU, where he appeared in just six games, giving him another year of college eligibility for 2026-27.
