Western Kentucky has added another player with college football experience to its 2021 signing class.
The Hilltoppers announced the addition of defensive back Kahlef Hailassie to its roster Tuesday. He's comes from Independence Community College after spending time at Oregon as a freshman.
Hailassie was listed as a 6-foot-2, 188-pound freshman cornerback on Oregon's 2018 roster. He played in each of the team's 13 games at cornerback and on the punt return unit. He recorded one tackle.
Weber State announced Hailassie transferred to its program via Twitter on Feb. 5, 2020, but the team did not play any games in the fall with the FCS season moving to the spring amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
