He was only a free agent for a week, but former Michigan football signee Jaden Smith has found his new college football home. The four-star defensive athlete has committed to the University of Kentucky, he announced on social media Tuesday morning.
Smith was also being pursued by schools like Auburn, Florida State, Miami, NC State, USC and Virginia Tech, according to 247Sports.
The North Carolina native committed to Michigan last summer and then signed with the Wolverines in December. However, just a week ago, he asked to be released from his national letter of intent following Jim Harbaugh’s departure to the NFL.
