LEXINGTON - Former Ballard star Jared Casey is leaving the Kentucky football program.
Casey, a four-star recruit in the class of 2019, entered the transfer portal on Thursday. The Louisville native totaled eight tackles in 11 games this season but had been passed on UK's inside linebacker depth chart by freshmen Trevin Wallace and Martez Thrower.
Casey started his high school career at Trinity before transferring to Ballard before his junior year. He initially committed to Oregon in high school before reopening his recruitment. Louisville was a finalist when he pledged to Kentucky.
