LEXINGTON - The competition to replace first-round NFL draft pick Jamin Davis just got a little more interesting for Kentucky football.
Ole Miss linebacker transfer Jacquez Jones committed to Kentucky Thursday, providing the Wildcats with a veteran to compete for the starting middle linebacker position vacated by Davis when he declared for the 2021 draft.
“We are thrilled to add Jacquez to our team,” UK coach Mark Stoops said in a news release. “He’s an experienced playmaker who has been a great leader in our league.”
Jones led Ole Miss and ranked 18th in the SEC with 75 tackles last season.
