Why?
Braxton Beverly had this to say about his decision to transfer to Eastern Kentucky to his fifth and final season of eligibility.
I want to thank Coach Keatts for taking a chance on me. Coming to NC State was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. The last four years have been incredible. I’ve grown as a basketball player and person while being part of this program. I found myself here. I’ve always wanted to be an inspiration to people, especially to people who sometimes are a little hesitant to dream big and chase their dreams. I’ve chased my dream and it’s taken me to places I could have never imagined.
Now it’s time for the next step. I will graduate from NC State in May and transfer to Eastern Kentucky to complete my college eligibility. I look forward to going home and playing in front of a community that has done so much for me. Thank you, #WPN for everything. I’ll always be part of the Pack!
