Former UK football players Donald Russell and Alex Smith have transferred to Georgia State.
Smith was planning to transfer to Ohio University, as he was campus for two months before deciding to transfer once again.
Here is an excerpt from SBNAtlanta:

Jul 20, 2011 – It has been a tumultuous week for the Georgia State football team, but every day is a new day. The Panthers have picked up two big-time transfers from the SEC. According to sources, former Kentucky running back Donald Russell and tight end Alex Smith have joined the program and will be immediately eligible to participate in fall practice.
Russell is a 5-foot-11, 209-pound balanced running back out of Dwyer High in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. He began 2010 as the Wildcat backup RB but slid down the depth chart behind true freshman Raymond Sanders and was granted his release in January. Donald has very good speed and is a reliable pass catcher out of the backfield. He has 77 career rushes for 430 yards and three touchdowns. Donald will have two years of eligibility remaining for the Panthers.
