In a move that adds to the growing turmoil surrounding Kentucky football, defensive lineman Keeshawn Silver has entered the transfer portal. Once a five-star recruit and a highly anticipated transfer from North Carolina, Silver’s departure after two seasons in Lexington is another gut punch for a program struggling after a 4-8 season.
Silver arrived at Kentucky with sky-high expectations, but his impact on the field has been underwhelming. In his three-year college career, Silver has compiled 43 total tackles, including 22 solo and 21 assisted while at Kentucky. His lone sack came during the 2024 season, leaving many fans questioning whether he ever reached his potential as a game-changer on the defensive line. Some blame has to fall on Anwar Stewart and Mark Stoops, as they haven’t shown they have the ability to develop a lot of talent. Remember Josh Allen was developed by Jimmy Brumbaugh and Derrick LeBlanc.
