Mayo and Kyle III both announced on Social media that they are leaving the Jackrabbit basketball program.

South Dakota State has lost their starting five as three graduate and two transfer out for a different path. Zeke Mayo, the Summit League Player of the Year and William Kyle III, the Summit League tournament MVP have announced on social media that they will be leaving SDSU.

Mayo, who has been at South Dakota State University since 2021 will look onto the NBA before deciding on taking another year at the collegiate level.

“I will be declaring for the 2024 NBA Draft while maintaining my college eligibility with intentions to enter the transfer portal,” Mayo said via X (formally known as Twitter).

Mayo’s post came out Tuesday, a day after Kyle III took to social media for his announcement.

Kyle III will be a hot pull in the portal considering he has two more years of eligibility remaining in his collegiate career.

According to Mike Sautter, a senior basketball analyst from Hurrdat Sports, Kyle III has heard from 21 different schools including Kansas, Florida and Iowa State.
