4. Jacob Smith | Edge | Kentucky
Transfer ranking: No. 327 | No. 41 EDGE
The other Kentucky transfer from Tuesday was Jerod’s brother, Jacob Smith. He was also a former 4-star recruit out of Kentucky and committed to Kentucky over big-time programs like Michigan and Alabama. He was ranked as high as No. 97 in the 2024 recruiting class, and after redshirting his freshman season, he committed to Louisville with three years of eligibility left.
The Cardinals' defensive line gets a huge boost from Tuesday, as while Jacob hasn’t recorded a statistic in his collegiate career, he is expected to make an impact in his redshirt sophomore season. He ranks as high as No. 327 in the portal and is No. 41 in the edge position.
