Kentucky football is facing a mass exodus of players transferring out of the program, with 20 scholarship players leaving since the regular season ended. Redshirt freshman center Koby Keenum is the latest to find a new home, committing to Mississippi State after just four days in the transfer portal. Keenum, a former three-star recruit, will have three years of eligibility remaining when he joins the Bulldogs.
Keenum is part of a trend among the 2023 high school signing class, with 11 players from that group already leaving Kentucky for the transfer portal. Among the notable departures are DL Keeshawn Silver, OL Courtland Ford, and WR Barion Brown, who have all committed to other power conference teams.
The transfer portal has been a hot topic in college football this offseason, with many players looking for new opportunities and greener pastures at different programs. For Kentucky, this mass exodus presents a challenge as they try to rebuild their roster and fill the gaps left by departing players.
