Kentucky Lands Long Snapper from the Transfer Portal

Kentucky is scouring the transfer portal for players at multiple positions. While most of Big Blue Nation’s attention is on skill players, Will Stein‘s coaching staff isn’t letting anything slip through the cracks. That means ensuring the Cats have enough ammunition on special teams.

Spencer Radnoti shared on Sunday morning that he has committed to Kentucky. The long snapper was the starter at Georgia State in 2025. He’ll have three years of eligibility remaining. A Georgia native, Radnoti picked the Cats over Michigan.

Kentucky was in the market for a long snapper after Alex McLaughlin concluded his career last fall. Radnoti isn’t the only specialist added this offseason. Kentucky locked in placekicker Jacob Kauwe to return for 2026. He won’t be the only leg in the room. Over the weekend, Kentucky added Adam Zouagui, a kicker from USF. The Cats also appear to be pivoting back to an Aussie-style punting attack. Kentucky is eyeing Murray State’s Tom O’Hara to be the next punter.
