The former high three-star recruit who played 246 snaps for Kentucky in 2021 was dismissed from the Kentucky football program in March for a violation of team rules. The redshirt junior with three years of eligibility is now in the transfer portal.

Vito Tisdale was unable to play in 2022 following a torn ACL injury suffered in spring practice. As a true freshman in 2020, the defensive back recorded 20 tackles and then became a primary contributor at nickel in 2021 playing in nine games with two starts. The in-state product finished the season with 21 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss.

Tisdale finishes his three-year career at Kentucky with 373 defensive snaps, 41 tackles, and two tackles for loss in 19 games played. The former U.S. Army All-American was a first-team All-State selection who had verbal scholarship offers from Alabama, Georgia, and Texas A&M during the recruiting process.

Tisdale becomes the second former Kentucky to player to officially enter the transfer portal in April after redshirt freshman Andre Stewart became a free agent on Saturday morning.
