Kentucky football lands Cincinnati cornerback JQ Hardaway

Kentucky football picked up its second transfer of the day on Thursday when Cincinnati cornerback JQ Hardaway announced his decision to come to Lexington.

Hardaway made the announcement via his social media accounts, posting a video with the caption, “I’m home BBN.”

The decision could not have come at a more opportune moment for the Wildcats with starting cornerback Carrington Valentine declaring for the 2023 NFL Draft earlier in the day.

Hardaway played one season with the Cincinnati Bearcats, where he was on the field for 93 snaps, amassing five tackles and a sack.

247Sports ranked Hardaway as the No.
