Kentucky Lands Graduate Transfer Quarterback Sawyer Smith

Kentucky football has been riding a wave of recruiting momentum this spring and it continued on Monday.

The Wildcats picked up a commitment from Sawyer Smith, a quarterback transfer from Troy University.

Smith will have two years of eligibility remaining and will be able to play for Kentucky this fall. He led Troy to a 10-win season in 2018, starting the final seven games of the year.

Smith completed 62.9 percent of his passes last season to throw for 1,669 yards and 14 touchdowns.
