Kenyon Martin Jr., a signee in Vanderbilt’s 2019 recruiting class, has chosen to skip college and pursue professional basketball opportunities.
The 6-6 power forward, who is the son of former NBA-All Star Kenyon Martin, committed to the Commodores back in early May.
However, it appears that he’s set to follow several other recruits and go the pro route instead.

RJ Hampton, a 5-star forward who was ranked as one of the top players in the 2020 class, also recently chose to go pro rather than play in college.
The Commodores still have four other players in the class, with Dylan Disu, Scotty Pippen, Jordan Wright, and Oton Jankovic joining the roster for next season.
