Kentucky Football Hosts Ohio State Transfer Darrion Henry-Young

Kentucky is searching for another large defensive end to fill the void left by Josh Paschal. Darrion Henry-Young might just be that answer to the Wildcats’ problem.

On the first weekend following the conclusion of the 2021 Kentucky football season, Darrion Henry-Young is visiting UK’s campus. KSR’s Matt Jones confirmed the news first reported by Cats Illustrated’s Justin Rowland.

You may recall him before he added the hyphenated Young to his name at Ohio State. Kentucky diligently pursued the Cincinnati Princeton defensive end, along with his five-star teammate, Paris Johnson. Even though UK was a finalist for Henry-Young, the top two players from the state of Ohio ultimately chose to attend Ohio State.
