Isaac McKneely, Virginia's leading scorer in 2024-25, announced Thursday he is transferring to fellow Atlantic Coast Conference member Louisville.

"Committed to the Ville," the rising senior guard posted on X along with a photo of himself in a Cardinals uniform.

McKneely shot an ACC-best 42.1 percent from 3-point range this past season, averaging 14.4 points, 2.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 32 games (all starts) for the Cavaliers under interim coach Ron Sanchez.

Over three seasons in Charlottesville, McKneely averaged 11.1 points and shot 42.2 percent from behind the arc in 98 games (66 starts).

After finishing 15-17 this season, Virginia hired former VCU coach Ryan Odom as its first full-time head coach since Tony Bennett's abrupt retirement in October.
