According to Chris Hummer and Matt Zenitz of 247Sports, Troy Stellato, a former wide receiver for Clemson, is anticipated to transfer to Kentucky.
As a junior this season, Stellato (6-1, 190) hauled in 25 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown for the Tigers. In his three years of college, he has accumulated 66 receptions for 616 yards and two touchdowns.
During Clemson’s 38-35 victory against Kentucky in the 2023 TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, he caught five balls for 58 yards, one of his greatest efforts against the Wildcats.
Stellato, who is rated by 247Sports as a top-60 wide receiver and a top-300 transfer, choose the UK over West Virginia and Michigan.
Running back Demie Sumo-Karngbaye graduated, and Kentucky lost four of its top five pass-catchers from the previous season—wide receivers Dane Key (Nebraska), Barion Brown (LSU), and Hardley Gilmore IV (Nebraska)—to the transfer portal.
Stellato joins Oklahoma’s J.J. Hester and Alabama’s Kendrick Law as the third receiver the Wildcats have signed off on this summer through the transfer portal. According to 247Sports, Kentucky’s 16-man transfer class is presently rated eighth in the country.
Stellato, who graduated from Fort Lauderdale, Florida’s Cardinal Gibbons High School, was listed by 247Sports as the No. 32 wide receiver in the 2021 class and among the top 250 prospects.
