Jordan Anthony returns to the Transfer Portal

A former Kentucky Wildcat is back on the move. This holiday season Jordan Anthony is looking for a new school. The former four-star wide receiver shared his plans on social media this weekend.

A 5-foot-10, 160-pound athlete from Tylertown, MS, Jordan Anthony was a coveted prospect when he signed with Kentucky in 2022. A two-sport star, the wide receiver was one of the fastest track athletes in America.

Upon arriving in Lexington, Anthony double-dipped. He redshirted on the football field and broke school records while sprinting for the Kentucky track team. Anthony was a First Team All-American sprinter in the 60-meter class where he earned silver medals at both the SEC and NCAA Indoor Championships.

Anthony tried to make both work. To be frank, it didn’t work out well for his football aspirations in Lexington. He entered the transfer portal over the summer and landed in College Station. Anthony finally got some run on the football field at Texas A&M, even though it was limited. He appeared in four games and caught three passes for 14 yards against ULM.

Jordan Anthony has three years of football eligibility remaining. Even though he is seeking his third school in three years, following the termination of Jimbo Fisher, he should have no problem receiving a waiver to play right away.

Only on the rarest of occasions can an athlete play multiple sports at the highest level. It’s unclear how Jordan Anthony’s skills translate onto the football field, but he might be Olympic fast on a track. He might be best served sticking with sprinting. We’ll let you know where he lands next.
