Braun began his career with the Missouri Tigers in the 2019-20 season and spent two years in Columbia before transferring to Santa Clara. The grad transfer averaged 7.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game over the past two seasons at California.
The 6-foot-10, 215-pound forward is walking nicely at Kansas after freshman forward Ernest Udeh Jr. announced that he will enter the transfer portal. While the projected starters at the four and five positions for the Jayhawks are KJ Adams and Hunter Dickinson, Braun moves in with the ability to log some key minutes for the red and blue at a spot he knows very well.
Braun's biggest game of the season came back on December 18 against California, where he had 17 points, seven rebounds and two assists on 88.9% shooting for the Broncos.
Now, he joins the Jayhawks less than an hour away from his hometown of Overland Park, Kansas, and will step onto campus with one of the most endearing last names in Jayhawks history.
