Kentucky football's Transfer Portal era under new head coach Will Stein kicked off with a familiar face heading for the exit: veteran EDGE Landyn Watson. The 6-foot-1, 239-pound senior, who arrived in Lexington last winter after stops at TCU and Marshall, plans to enter the portal for the 3rd time in his career, per reports from On3 and Pete Nakos. t's the first official departure for the Wildcats, coming just one day after Stein's hiring and his blunt warning to the roster about the grind ahead.
Watson, a three-star recruit in the 2021 class ranked in the top 500 nationally, redshirted his freshman year at TCU before appearing in three games as a sophomore in 2022 on a Horned Frogs team that reached the College Football Playoff National Championship.
