Take another transfer target off the Kentucky recruiting board. On Wednesday, Colorado cornerback Mekhi Blackmon announced that he’ll be staying in the Pac-12 and playing his super senior season for Lincoln Riley at USC.
That appears to be another missed target for the Wildcats in the transfer portal.
Blackmon is set to join fellow Colorado transfer — and another Kentucky target — Brenden Rice out in Los Angeles. Both former Buffaloes are buying the vision Riley is selling at his new gig. The Trojans have now added nine players from the portal since the coaching change and are expected to add Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams as well.
