Kentucky tight end Jordan Dingle has entered the NCAA transfer portal, per On3’s Pete Nakos.

Dingle is the latest name from Lexington to put their name into the portal, joining the likes WRs Dane Key and Barion Brown, among others who are transferring out of the program after the Wildcats’ down year in 2024.

The Wildcats struggled in the passing game during the regular season, and a crowded tight ends room caused Dingle to have his least productive year since his freshman season. He finished the year with nine catches for 71 yards and a touchdown.

He was responsible for 490 receiving yards during the 2022-23 seasons, finding the endzone three times when Will Levis was quarterback in 2022. Those were his only touchdowns in Lexington until his lone score in the season opener this season against Southern Miss.

The Bowling Green native logged statistics in five games for the Wildcats this past season, never eclipsing more than 30 receiving yards in a single game.

Last offseason, Dingle announced he was opting to enter the NCAA transfer portal but later withdrew his name and returned for another season.

Before Kentucky, Dingle was a former three-star recruit in the 2021 recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 514 player and No. 27 tight end in his class.

The portal officially opens on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers.

That means roughly 25 percent of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year, per On3’s Pete Nakos.
