Missouri CB Mark Manfred III Transfers to Kentucky

Another day, another transfer portal commitment for the Cats.

On Sunday afternoon, Mark Manfred III shared that he is transferring from Missouri to Kentucky. The cornerback just completed his freshman season in CoMo. After redshirting, he will have four years of eligibility.

A 6-foot-1, 175-pound athlete from Marietta, Ga., he was a three-star prospect ranked as the No. 67 cornerback in the country when he signed with Missouri. A two-way player during his prep career at Sprayberry, he compiled 143 tackles, 10.0 tackles for loss, three interceptions, 14 passes defended, and one forced fumble, while also accumulating 1,363 receiving yards on 67 receptions with 13 touchdowns on offense.

Kentucky has aggressively recruited free agents in the secondary. So far, the Cats have added six transfer portal defensive backs. They may not be finished.
