Mark Stoops has added another vital piece to his secondary ahead of the 2022 season. Defensive back Zion Childress announced he will transfer to Kentucky. He chose the Wildcats over Washington and TCU shortly after taking an official visit to Lexington.
Childress, a native of Houston, started his career playing in the Sun Belt at Texas State. A starter in eight of 12 games at safety last fall, he finished third on the team in tackles with 74, including 1.5 for loss. He also had five pass break-ups, two forced fumbles and an interception.
