Drake basketball is rebuilding, and the Bulldogs’ roster grew by one on Wednesday with the commitment of Wyoming transfer Kael Combs.
The 6-foot-2 rising sophomore guard joins Drake under new head coach Ben McCollum, who took over following Darian DeVries’ departure to West Virginia.
Combs – a native of Nixa, Missouri – played in 26 games for Wyoming during the 2023-24 season. In his first year of college basketball, he averaged 2.7 points and one rebound in 10.5 minutes of play per game.
He joined the Cowboys after a prolific career at Nixa High School.
Combs won Central Ozark Conference Player of the Year and was named News-Leader Player of the Year during his senior season. He averaged 23.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game as a senior while shooting 44% from 3-point range.
He received an offer from Missouri State before choosing Wyoming.
