After spring football ended, Kentucky had a clear need at cornerback. The coaching staff decided to attack the transfer portal with aggressiveness to help supplement the roster for defensive backs coach Chris Collins.
The biggest addition was an SEC transfer.
After spending four years at Ole Miss, Keidron Smith will be spending his fifth and final season of college football in the SEC East. The summer enrollee played over 2,000 snaps in Oxford with 22 starting assignments in 47 career games. The super senior has yet to miss a game in his career and brings 224 tackles, 19 pass breakups, and five interceptions to defensive coordinator Brad White’s unit.
