Kentucky offensive lineman Wallace Unamba entered the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. He will look for the fourth school of his college career.

Following his JUCO playing days, Unamba started his Division 1 career at Florida Atlantic. He then transferred to New Mexico before ending up at Kentucky this past season.

As a member of the Class of 2023, for JUCO, Unamba was a three-star recruit out of Kilgore (Texas) and played HS football at Rowlett, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 14 overall JUCO prospect in Texas, the No. 21 offensive tackle prospect and the No. 118 overall prospect.

Wallace Unamba latest Kentucky player to enter NCAA transfer portal

Unamba wasn’t the only player to enter the portal this week. Kentucky lost cornerback Jiquavious Marshall to the transfer portal as well.

“First and foremost, I would like to thank God for blessing me with the ability to play football at the highest of levels and allowing a kid from Georgia to take his talent to the SEC,” Marshall wrote in his announcement. “Next I would like to thank Coach (Mark) Stoops and the rest of the Kentucky staff for believing in my talents and taking a chance on me when they didn’t have to.

“To Big Blue Nation and the brothers I’ve made along the way, thank you for welcoming me in with open arms. I’ll never forget the memories made and Kentucky will always hold a special place in my heart. After much prayer and reflection, I’ve decided it will be best for me to enter the transfer portal with four year of eligibility remaining.”

Prior to Kentucky, Marshall played for Westview High School in Macon, Georgia, where he was a three-star prospect in 2024. He ranked as the No. 596 overall player and No. 62 cornerback in the cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
