In today’s pass-first world of college football, having a wide receiver that’s capable of shredding apart secondaries is more important than ever, which is where Lexington native Dane Key comes in.
That’s because the third-year Kentucky Wildcats wide receiver is officially in the NCAA transfer portal after hauling in 126 catches for 1,870 yards and 14 touchdowns across three seasons with his hometown school, with no shortage of potential suitors out there for the 6-foot-3-inch wideout out of Frederick Douglass High School.
Dane Key, University of Kentucky wide receiver, announced that he plans to enter the transfer portal after an unsuccessful season. BetKentucky.com used its Kentucky sports betting mindset and developed exclusive odds projecting where Key will transfer to for his final year of eligibility.

Where Will Key Go Next?
Our top programs to land the former Wildcats wide receiver this offseason is fellow SEC program Georgia, which leads all teams at +150, followed by conference rival Ole Miss, which checks in at +200 to land the talented wideout from Lexington.
Throw in Big Ten member Nebraska at +350 and you have the full rundown of FBS programs that we see having a solid shot at catching Key out of the transfer portal this offseason, as the former Kentucky pass catcher tries his luck at a new school in 2025.
There’s also a shot that Key winds up somewhere else entirely, with +2100 odds that the former UK pass catchers goes elsewhere out of the transfer portal this offseason, though for now we’re siding with Kirby Smart to land the Lexington native in what should be a competitive field of teams vying for Key’s services in the coming days and weeks.
Whichever school lands the former UK wide receiver out of the portal is getting their hands on a player that showed what he can do in the possession and downfield portion of the field in 2024, with career highs in receptions (47) and yards (715) for head coach Mark Stoops and the Wildcats this season.
