Oklahoma Quarterback with Kentucky Ties Enters Transfer Portal

The college football transfer portal has never been busier. The latest quarterback to throw his name in the ring has a Kentucky connection.

The Tulsa World reports quarterback Austin Kendall will transfer from Oklahoma. The four-star pocket passer played sparingly as a true freshman backup for the Sooners in 2016. After redshirting for Baker Mayfield’s Heisman winning season, many believed Kendall could beat out Kyler Murray. Instead, Kendall backed up another Heisman Trophy winner.

As Kendall seeks a new home, he could revisit a familiar place. Austin’s brother, Ryan, was a walk-on wide receiver at Kentucky from 2014-18.
