UVA men's lacrosse All-American defenseman is using his final year of eligibility to transfer to play basketball at Stanford next season.
Cole Kastner is staying in the Atlantic Coast Conference next year. But he's not playing at Virginia and he's not playing lacrosse.
UVA's 6'7" All-American defenseman announced on social media on Wednesday evening that he will using his final year of eligibility to transfer to Stanford to play basketball for the 2024-2025 season.
For his career, Kastner currently has 64 games played, 48 starts, four goals, two assists, 113 ground balls, and 83 caused turnovers. And those numbers will continue to grow as Kastner looks to bookend his career with another national title. But no matter how this season ends, it will be his final spring at the University of Virginia, as Kastner is now officially headed back home to Palo Alto, where he'll look to revive his basketball career.
In an interesting byproduct of conference realignment, Kastner will play against the Virginia men's basketball team next season, as the Cavaliers will make the cross-country trip to face the Stanford Cardinal in their first season as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Kastner became the first transfer to commit to Kyle Smith, who became the new head coach at Stanford last month after spending the previous five seasons at Washington State, where Tony Bennett previously coached.
