Junior forward Jaemyn Brakefield announced on social media on Wednesday that he will return to Ole Miss.

This past season, Brakefield played in 33 games with 31 starts as a Rebel who averaged 11.7 points per game and 5.7 boards per night.
In the past two years, Brakefield played in 64 games with 55 starts after transferring in from Duke. He has averaged 9.5 ppg and 5.0 rpg with the Rebels.
