Kentucky was likely going to need to add a linebacker from the transfer portal, so who better than someone with a connection to the current staff?
According to national college football reporter Chris Hummer of 247 Sports, Jacquez Jones–who spent the last three seasons as one of the best players on the Ole Miss defense before announcing his intention to transfer on June 1–will be in the mix for three teams as of right now: South Carolina, Kansas, and Kentucky. When Jones was a true freshman in 2018 at Ole Miss, he played under Kentucky’s current assistant Jon Sumrall.
