Former Kentucky tight end Izayah Cummings enters transfer portal
Louisville (Ky.) Male product Izayah Cummings signed with Kentucky in the 2020 high school recruiting cycle and spent four years with the football program in Lexington. After the 2023 campaign, Cummings decided to move on and returned back home.
After playing in only four games for Louisville in 2024, Cummings preserved a redshirt year and will have one more season left to play college football in 2025. The former three-star recruit became a free agent again on Friday when he entered the portal as a graduate transfer.
