Day 6 in the transfer portal did not disappoint. There were some commitments for Kentucky and some unexpected twists and turns for some key targets. We have been covering from every angle at KSR. That includes tracking where former UK players end up. The expected happened on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

Kentucky safety Cam Dooley<\/a> is following defensive coordinator Brad White<\/a> and co-defensive coordinator Chris Collins<\/a> to Florida.<\/p>\n

Cam Dooley was a former Missouri commit who flipped to Kentucky during the 2024 high school cycle. The Valley (Ala.) High product spent two seasons with the Wildcats and became a starter as a sophomore when multi-year starter Jordan Lovett<\/a> was lost for the season in November. The former four-star recruit finished the season with 30 tackles, one interception, and one forced fumble in 413 defensive snaps. Dooley has two years of eligibility remaining.<\/p>\n

Kentucky and Florida essentially completed a safety trade on Hump Day. Three-year starter Jordan Castell<\/a> is reuniting with former Florida linebackers coach Jay Bateman<\/a> and quality control assistant Allen Brown<\/a> in Lexington while Dooley is following some of his coaches to Gainesville.<\/p>\n

UK\u2019s home game against the Gators in November will have a lot of storylines. Jon Sumrall<\/a>\u2018s Florida program will have Kentucky connections all over the roster.<\/p>\n
