Jacob Toppin, a 6-foot-8 freshman forward and the younger brother of Naismith and Wooden Award winner Obi Toppin, committed to Kentucky April 15. Toppin appeared in 30 games with three starts in his first and only season at Rhode Island and averaged 5.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. Under current NCAA transfer rules, Toppin will have three seasons of eligibility remaining with the Wildcats starting in the 2021-22 season. He is expected to enroll at UK and begin practicing with the team in the fall. Jacob Toppin is the brother of Dayton’s Obi Toppin, the consensus national player of the year in 2019-20. Like his brother Obi, who averaged 20.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game as a redshirt sophomore this season. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, the three-star prospect out of Woodstock Academy in Woodstock, Connecticut, became an immediate contributor for a Rhode Island team that went 21-9 on the season and finished 13-5 in the Atlantic 10. Toppin will mark Kentucky’s first traditional transfer since Ryan Harrow, who transferred from NC State in 2011-12 and suited up for Kentucky in 2012-13.
