Andrew McKeever

Andrew McKeever is one of the top players in the Transfer Portal and is ranked as high as the No. 1 center in the portal as of Tuesday morning. The Cardinals needed someone with physicality and a paint presence last season, and with McKeever standing at 7-foot-3, 280-pound, that is exactly what Louisville would get if they were able to add him.

The 4-star Saint Mary’s transfer entered the portal after spending his first two years with the Gaels. The 7-foot-3 center is an elite rebounder and passer, averaging 8.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 0.8 blocks per game last season. He averaged 3.8 offensive rebounds per game for Saint Mary’s, and his 302 rebounds ranked as the most in the WCC in the 2025-26 season.

His frame makes him an elite ball screener, and as a big target when he rolls to the basket, while his rebounding gives him the paint presence Louisville’s frontcourt desperately needs. McKeever ranks as high as No. 30 overall in the portal and No. 1 among centers.
