Clemson WR transfer Troy Stellato signs with Kentucky

Clemson wide receiver Troy Stellato has signed with Kentucky out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned.

Stellato spent the last three years contributing for the Tigers, to varying degrees. His most productive season came as a sophomore in 2023.

In total, Troy Stellato has logged 66 catches for 616 yards and two touchdowns. He’s also rushed one time for 11 yards.

Stellato first emerged on the scene as a freshman in 2022. He caught just two passes for 15 yards, making a limited contribution. His role would increase significantly the following year.

As a sophomore in 2023, Troy Stellato caught 39 passes for 337 yards and a touchdown. His average per reception remained under 10 yards, though that would change during his junior season.

As a junior in 2024, he caught 25 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown. His average per catch went up to 10.6 yards, showing a little bit more big play ability. Kentucky will be hoping to continue expanding that figure.

Prior to enrolling at Clemson, Troy Stellato was ranked as a three-star prospect and the No. 294 overall player in the country in the 2021 recruiting class. He also checked in as the No. 43 receiver in the class and the No. 41 overall player in the state of Florida, hailing from Fort Lauderdale (FL) Cardinal Gibbons.
