Former Kentucky WR Jordan Anthony Transferring to Texas A&M

The speedy wideout is off to College Station.

Kentucky football was hit with a late transfer portal entry on May 30, as wide receiver Jordan Anthony announced his departure after one season in Lexington. 

Less than two weeks following his announcement, he's already found a new home and is staying in the SEC, joining Jimbo Fisher and the Texas A&M Aggies:

Anthony was a 4-star recruit and one of the top 75 wide receivers nationally and the No. 12 recruit in Mississippi, per On3. He played in two games — vs. Youngstown State and Louisville — as a freshman for UK in 2022.

The speedster has excelled as a member of UK's track-and-field team, having broke the UK freshman record in the 60m (6.55) while moving to No. 2 on the UK all-time performers’ list. He won the 60-meter dash at the McCravy Memorial and TTU Red Raider Open in January and won the U-20 National Track 200-meter title with a personal-record 20.34 seconds in 2022.

Kentucky's wide receiver room contains three feature wideouts in Tayvion Robinson, Dane Key and Barion Brown. Anthony's speed would have likely carved out a role for the Tylertown, Miss. native, as he and the likes of Dekel Crowdus and Anthony Brown manned backup roles heading into the 2023 season.

UK recently announced the addition of seven more players via the transfer portal.

Anthony was named the fastest true freshman in college football by ESPN last July, noting that his speed was "on par with Tyreek Hill." Now, it's off to College Station.
