Kentucky lands Juco offensive line commit from Anfernee Crease

Kentucky football landed a transfer commitment from junior college offensive lineman Anfernee Crease, he announced on Monday.

Crease was originally committed to SMU before flipping his pledge to the Wildcats.

Crease is a 6-foot-8, 310 pound offensive tackle who held other offers from Houston, Syracuse, Akron and others in addition to SMU and Kentucky.

He visited Kentucky over the weekend before making the commitment official.

Crease is the second offensive lineman that Kentucky has added through the transfer portal this offseason. Tennessee transfer Gerald Mincey committed to Kentucky during the first transfer window.

Depth at offensive tackle has been a priority for the Wildcats this offseason, especially after wrist surgery for Courtland Ford sidelined him for all of spring practice.

Crease will have three years of eligibility remaining for Kentucky.
