Kentucky is scouring the transfer portal for players at multiple positions. While most of Big Blue Nation\u2019s attention is on skill players, Will Stein<\/a>\u2018s coaching staff isn\u2019t letting anything slip through the cracks. That means ensuring the Cats have enough ammunition on special teams. <\/p>\n

Spencer Radnoti<\/a> shared<\/a> on Sunday morning that he has committed to Kentucky. The long snapper was the starter at Georgia State in 2025. He\u2019ll have three years of eligibility remaining. A Georgia native, Radnoti picked the Cats over Michigan. <\/p>\n

Kentucky was in the market for a long snapper after Alex McLaughlin<\/a> concluded his career last fall. Radnoti isn\u2019t the only specialist added this offseason. Kentucky locked in placekicker Jacob Kauwe<\/a> to return for 2026. He won\u2019t be the only leg in the room. Over the weekend, Kentucky added Adam Zouagui<\/a>, a kicker from USF. The Cats also appear to be pivoting back to an Aussie-style punting attack. Kentucky is eyeing Murray State\u2019s\u00a0Tom O\u2019Hara<\/a> to be the next punter. <\/p>\n
