The Kentucky football team lost one of its veteran players at a key position this offseason.

Tavin Richardson, a would-be senior wide receiver, will transfer to Marshall University for his last season of college football. Richardson entered the NCAA’s transfer portal back in January, and on Sunday he announced on Twitter he has a new home:

Herd Nation, Marshall’s Rivals site, reports Richardson took an official visit to Marshall on Saturday, before pledging his commitment to the Herd as a graduate transfer.

At Kentucky, Richardson started 25 games in three seasons with 49 receptions for 645 yards and a touchdown.

He will be eligible to play right away.
