Butler adds Maryland transfer Jamie Kaiser

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Maryland transfer Jamie Kaiser is headed to Butler, he confirmed to ZAGSBLOG.

“Really enjoy the way coach [Thad] Matta embraces culture over there!” he said.

As for what skillset he will bring, Kaiser said, “A bigger guard that can shoot and defend multiple positions.”

The 6-foot-6 wing averaged 4.4 points and 2.0 rebounds as a freshman under Maryland’s Kevin Willard.

He initially committed in 2022 to the Terps over Indiana and Virginia.

“Jamie is an extremely talented player,” said Matta. “From talking to coaches and others who have been around him, we know he has a strong work ethic and a drive to improve. His positional size, versatility and his ability to knock down shots will have an impact for us the next few seasons.”
