Several of Kentucky’s new additions could have a chance to start next season, especially Raynor and Sumo-Karngbaye. Kentucky lost difference-makers at kicker and running back this offseason.
Overall, Kentucky has brought in 12 transfers so far this offseason. The group sits at No. 18 nationally, per 247Sports Composite rankings.
