Kentucky was seen as a top early contender for Auburn wide receiver transfer Malcolm Simmons. So was another SEC program. That school got the former blue-chip recruit with two years of eligibility remaining on campus first.
The SEC transfer was in Fayetteville on Saturday to check out out the Hogs as new head coach Ryan Silverfield takes over the Arkansas football program.
Kentucky is expected to receive a visit from Malcolm Simmons. So is Texas A&M. This recruitment is not over yet but the program that gets the first visit in portal season can typically have leverage since these free agency decisions are made very quickly.
