USF cornerback Kendall Dennis has entered his name into the transfer portal.

Dennis started his career at Oklahoma before transferring to USF. Now, after three seasons with the Sooners and one with the Bulls, he’ll be at a third program.

To this point, Dennis has totaled five tackles during a dozen collegiate appearances. That includes just one tackle in five games while in Tampa.

Davis played high school football at Lakeland in Florida. He was a four-star prospect there as the No. 266 overall recruit in the 2020 cycle. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranked as a Top-25 CB in the class and a Top-50 player from out of his state.

Dennis came to Norman as part of the No. 13 overall class in the nation. That’s per On3’s 2020 Industry Football Team Recruiting Rankings. He was the 11th-highest rated prospect out of their 21 total commitments as part of one of the final classes under Lincoln Riley.

He then spent one season under Brent Venables before transferring to South Florida for their first year under Alex Golesh.

Now, with him back in the portal, Dennis is the 15th transfer from the Bulls’ program this offseason. Seven of those have come from their defense, including four in the secondary with two other corners in Jameel Sanders and Christopher Townsel along with a pair of safeties in Will Jones and Jayden Curry. Of the 15 departures, only two, QB Gerry Bohanon to BYU and DE Lloyd Summerall to James Madison, have committed elsewhere to this point.

As for additions, USF has brought in eight transfers in total during the portal cycles. Five of those come in for the defense with all of them joining the secondary. Among that quintet are three safeties in Langston Long (Virginia), Kajuan Banks (South Carolina), and De’Shawn Rucker (Tennessee) along with a pair of corners in Brent Austin (James Madison) and D’Marco Augustin (Youngstown State).
