Former KU forward Zach Clemence commits to Texas A&M

LAWRENCE, Kan. (KCTV) - The first Kansas Jayhawk to enter the transfer portal this off-season has found a new school.

Forward Zach Clemence, who entered the transfer portal on March 28, has committed to Texas A&M.

Clemence, who played in just eight games this season due to injury, had been at KU since the 2021-22 season. He’s played in 52 career games and was on the Kansas team that won the national championship in 2022.

The 6-foot-10 forward from San Antonio, Texas, was a top-50 recruit out of high school but has been extremely limited in both role and usage during his career at Kansas. Clemence has averaged 1.7 points and 1.5 rebounds per game over his career.

He entered the transfer portal after a season in which Kansas went 21-13 and lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 17 seasons. Clemence previously entered the transfer portal after the 2022-23 season and committed to UC Santa Barbara before ending up back at KU.

If Clemence is able to get a medical redshirt for the 2024-25 season after playing in just eight games, he’ll have two years of eligibility remaining.
