Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops and the Wildcats coaching staff is continuing to try and rebuild their depleted wide receiver unit through the transfer portal. After losing three important pass catchers from the 2024 roster, they’re left with a bare cupboard. Adding former Clemson receiver Troy Stellato would help.
Per On3’s Pete Nakos, Stellato is considering joining the Wildcats and has them in his final three. West Virginia and the Michigan Wolverines are the other two schools.

The 6’0″, 175 lb Stellato was a four star recruit in the 2021 class. He was ranked as a top 200 player overall and the number 30 receiver. In three seasons with the Clemson Tigers, he totaled 65 receptions for 600 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Stellato just visited Lexington, and could make a decision fairly soon. He would join Kendrick Law and J.J. Hester as receivers added out of the portal this offseason.
The 2025 season will be a big one for Stoops and company after the disappointment of this year. Finding a quality wide receiver unit will continue to be a big part of that.
