Wake Forest transfer Jaquez Keyes is now a Wildcat

It may be the middle of August, but it’s never too late for a transfer Yahtzee for the Kentucky Wildcats!

On Wednesday, a UK spokesman confirmed that Jaquez Keyes had enrolled at the school as a walk-on. He will play running back.

A class of 2023 recruit, Keyes was originally a Wake Forest signee but left the school in July to enter the transfer portal. The 6-foot-1, 207-pounder played at Ironton High School in Ohio as a running back and linebacker.

All the major recruiting services rated Keyes a three-star recruit. His highest rating was at Rivals, which ranked him 18th in the state of Ohio and 32nd among running backs.
