VILLANOVA, Pa. – Lance Ware, a 6-9 Camden, N.J., native who spent three seasons at the University of Kentucky, has completed the process to transfer to Villanova ahead of the 2023-24 academic year.

"Lance brings us a very valuable skill set with his length, athleticism, and experience," stated Villanova Head Coach Kyle Neptune. "Beyond that, he's been a leader on and off the court for the outstanding teams he has played with. We're so excited to bring him back to this area, not far from where he grew up in New Jersey. Lance will be an important addition to our frontcourt."
