The Kentucky Wildcats and Mark Stoops hauled in two players on the 2022 PFF College All-Transfer Portal Team.
Kentucky added quarterback Devin Leary and running back Ray Davis from the portal.
PFF labels Leary as the best quarterback in the portal.
Here are excerpts about both players:
QUARTERBACK: DEVIN LEARY (N.C. STATE WOLFPACK)
Transfer Destination: Kentucky Wildcats
Leary established himself as one of the nation’s best signal-callers in 2021. His 31 big-time throws were tied for the seventh most in the FBS. The 2022 campaign was a different story.
The redshirt junior earned only a 64.8 passing grade before a torn pectoral muscle ended his season after six games. Leary is transferring to Kentucky next season, where he’ll replace Will Levis, who’s currently PFF’s No. 3 prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft.
RUNNING BACK: RAY DAVIS (VANDERBILT COMMODORES)
Transfer Destination: Kentucky Wildcats
Vanderbilt’s offensive line finished the 2022 campaign with the worst run-blocking grade in the Power Five (44.4). Even with that unit doing him no favors, Davis still produced.
The senior ranked fourth in the SEC this season with 1,044 rushing yards. Even more impressive, 737 of those yards came after contact, the third most in the conference. Davis will join Devin Leary at Kentucky next season.
