For the third time in the last five days, the Kentucky Wildcats are losing a player to the transfer portal.
On Wednesday, redshirt freshman defensive back Rickey Hyatt Jr. put his name into the transfer portal. The former 3-star recruit came from Westerville Central High School, the same school that Benny Snell came from.
Hyatt was named to the First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll during his true freshman season. During the 2021 season, Hyatt saw the field twice, making his first college appearance against UT-Chattanooga. The second came against New Mexico State where he recorded his first career tackle.
