In news first reported by Kentucky Sports Radio and subsequently confirmed by the University, Kentucky junior running back Mikel Horton will be transferring out of the program.
Horton rushed for just over 300 yards in his freshman and sophomore seasons, but had just three carries fro 12 yards this fall. Horton’s transfer may be related to his diminished role.
