Heading into his second year with the Kentucky Wildcats, head coach Kenny Brooks has made his first offseason addition by landing Western Kentucky transfer Josie Gilvin.
A Louisville native, Gilvin had an impressive season at WKU, averaging 13.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.6 steals per game. She was especially effective from long range, shooting 41.3% from three-point territory.
Standing at 6 feet tall, Gilvin adds valuable experience to the Wildcats’ roster, having appeared in nearly 100 collegiate games and starting all 32 contests during the 2024-25 season.
Over her three years with the Hilltoppers, she scored a total of 672 points, including a 10-point outing against Kentucky in December. Her standout play earned her spots on both the 2024-25 All-Conference USA Second Team and the C-USA All-Defensive Team.
While she may not crack the starting lineup right away, Gilvin brings size and three-point shooting—two key assets that will strengthen Brooks’ backcourt in Lexington.
