If the best approach to recruiting athletes from the transfer portal is the targeted approach, then Kentucky football hit the bullseye with Jacquez Jones. When all is said and done, the former Ole Miss linebacker, who officially committed to the Cats on Thursday via Instagram, might be UK Coach Mark Stoops' second-most important addition for the 2021 campaign, behind only Wan'Dale Robinson. A 6-foot, 230-pounder out of Tuscaloosa, Ala., Jones was the Rebels' leading tackler in 2020 after placing second in 2019. He started 18 of Ole Miss' last 20 games. He made 75 tackles in nine games in 2020 and 71 in 2019, including 7.5 tackles for loss. He was a member of the SEC's All-Freshman Team in 2018.He is, in the words of Stoops, "an experienced playm aker who has been a great leader in our league." Better still, Jones fills a position of need in Stoops' system. While the hiring of new coordinator Liam Coen has tilted the offseason attention in the direction of the UK offense, defensive coordinator Br ad White has depth chart holes of his own to fill before the Sept. 4 opener against Louisiana Monroe. Inside linebacker is likely No. 1 on that list. Gone is Jamin Davis, his unexpected rocket ride having carried the junior all the way to the No. 19 over all pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Washington Football Team. Returning is senior DeAndre Square, UK's third-leading 2020 tackler who boasts 22 career starts. After Square, however, question marks abound. - Herald Leader

The depth of Kentucky's linebacking corps has been strained over the past year. Jacquez Jones, the leading tackler for the University of Mississippi last season, announced his commitment to UK via social media. Jones will be immediately eligible and coul d play up to two years for the Wildcats; this fall will be his senior season, and he would be eligible for an additional season via the NCAA's COVID-19 waiver. Jones is already with the team, UK spokesperson Susan Lax told the Herald-Leader. "We are thri lled to add Jacquez to our team," head coach Mark Stoops said in a news release. "He's an experienced playmaker who has been a great leader in our league."Jones had 75 tackles (36 unassisted) last year for the Rebels, who finished 5-5 after defeat ing Indiana, 26-20, in the Outback Bowl. Ole Miss came to Lexington last season and handed UK a 42-41 loss in overtime during Lane Kiffin's first year running the show. Jones officially entered the transfer portal on June 3. Kentucky, which enters the fa ll with just three healthy middle linebackers who've played meaningful snaps - senior DeAndre Square, junior Marquez Bembry and sophomore Jared Casey - quickly emerged as the favorite for Jones. - Herald Leader
