South Dakota Coyotes transfer edge rusher Mi’Quise Grace has signed with the Kentucky Wildcats. Grace, a sophomore, picked Kentucky over other top schools including the Georgia Bulldogs.
Grace helped South Dakota advance to the FCS championship semifinals during the 2024 college football season. Grace was among the most productive players in the nation with 8.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and 58 total tackles.
The 6-foot-4, 255-pound edge rusher brings size and experience to Kentucky. Grace could start right away for the Wildcats, who had a solid defense last season.
The South Dakota standout is ranked as the No. 11 edge rusher in the transfer portal, per 247Sports. Grace is ranked as the No. 70 transfer player in the nation.
Georgia is looking to add some front-seven depth via the transfer portal in the form of a pass rusher or defensive lineman. The Bulldogs are losing Mykel Williams, Jalon Walker, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Warren Brinson, Chaz Chambliss, and Nazir Stackhouse to the NFL draft. UGA’s other top pass rusher, Damon Wilson, has entered the transfer portal as well.
