Dane Key, the standout wide receiver for the Kentucky Wildcats, has announced his intention to enter the NCAA transfer portal. This decision comes as part of a broader wave of changes within the Kentucky football program. Key, a 6-foot-3, 203-pound sophomore, has had a notable season, recording 39 receptions for 605 yards and 4 touchdowns. His announcement adds to the ongoing challenges faced by head coach Mark Stoops as he looks to rebuild after a disappointing 2023 season. In his statement, Key shared, “I want to thank my coaches and my teammates for their support during my time at Kentucky. I’m excited for the next chapter in my football career.” Key’s decision to enter the portal signals a potential shift in strategies for Kentucky football moving forward, as they evaluate their roster and look to improve ahead of next season. The Wildcats finished the 2023 season with a record of 6-6, which was seen as a disappointment relative to expectations. This news adds to the heightened tension within the program, as they contemplate changes in leadership and player development for future success.
