The transfer portal has been kind to the Kentucky football program. Four incoming transfers have heard their names called in the NFL Draft over the last three seasons, with two on each side of the ball.
Devin Leary was recruited to Lexington to replace second round selection Will Levis. Leary is one of 13 scholarship newcomers from the transfer portal this offseason. Not every incoming transfer is a former all-conference quarterback. When it’s not an obvious addition, the Kentucky coaching staff has certain criteria they are searching for with new players.
