LEXINGTON, Ky. – Mason Williams, a four-star point guard out of Tennessee Collegiate Academy, has signed on to join the Kentucky men’s basketball team for the 2027 season.
As a high school prospect, Williams is ranked No. 109 overall in the class of 2026 by 247Sports and No. 124 by Rivals. He stands at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds.
During his senior campaign, Williams averaged 15.1 points, 5.3 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 steals. He shot 60 percent from the field, 41 percent from 3-point range and 89 percent from the foul line. In perhaps the most notable outing of his senior year, Williams had 23 points, five rebounds and five assists as Tennessee Collegiate Academy upset No. 1 ranked Prolific Prep in November.
Before joining TCA, Williams played for Germantown High School in Gluckstadt, Mississippi where he helped lead his team to its first ever state title in 2025. He also won a state title in 2024 while playing at Jackson Academy in Jackson, Mississippi, alongside his brother, Michael.
Williams is the son of new Kentucky assistant, Mo Williams, a 13-year NBA veteran who most recently served as the head coach at Jackson State. The elder Williams was an NBA All-Star in 2009 and won an NBA Championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016.
Williams is a native of Dallas and chose the Wildcats among other offers including Texas Tech, Memphis, Ole Miss and Washington.

We now have 3 average point guards and no knock down shooting 2 guard. Pope is lost and doesn't have a clue about how to correct this.
Think he is trying, Barry, but no one seems to want to
play for the Cats. This situation must be corrected,
immediately. BB program is in a severe recruiting
slump.
