Lexington Native Jamarrion Harkless is Transferring to Kentucky

A homecoming is being prepared for an enormous defensive lineman. Kentucky has added another trench player from the transfer portal, and this one knows his way around town.

Lexington native Jamarrion Harkless has committed to Kentucky. He hit the transfer portal this offseason after three years at Purdue. The defensive tackle visited Louisville, Nebraska, and Wisconsin before choosing to ride with his hometown team. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

Harkless was a three-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class at Frederick Douglass High School. He originally committed to play for Auburn.
