Kentucky football closing in on commitment from Virginia Tech wide receiver Tayvion Robinson

LEXINGTON - Kentucky football appears to have found its new transfer wide receiver.

Former Virginia Tech wide receiver Tayvion Robinson tweeted Saturday afternoon he had committed to the Wildcats. Robinson quickly deleted the tweet, but a source confirmed he is still expected to sign with Kentucky on Wednesday.

The 5-foot-10, 187-pound receiver could serve as a like-for-like replacement for Kentucky wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson if UK's record holder for catches in a season declares for the NFL draft as expected.

Tayvion Robinson led Virginia Tech with 44 catches and five receiving touchdowns this season.
