Impact Brakefield began his collegiate career during 2020, the same year COVID-19 significantly affected college basketball's 2020-21 season. As a result, players like him were given an extra campaign of collegiate eligibility. Fast forward several years later, and he will use the additional season to finish his collegiate career during 2025 instead of 2024. The announcement is significant news for Mississippi should Brakefield re-enroll at Ole Miss, considering he is about to log his second consecutive season with averages of more than 10 points and five rebounds.
