At 6‑foot‑3 and 202 pounds, Ashton Cozart arrives in Lexington with a physical presence that matches his skill set.
A native of Texas, he was rated No. 237 overall in the 2023 recruiting class by 247Sports and originally pledged to the Oregon Ducks.
A Fresh Start in Lexington
After a redshirt year with Oregon and a brief stint at SMU — where he appeared in four games and caught a single pass — Cozart decided to transfer to Kentucky for the 2026 season.
The Wildcats' receiver corps is loaded with talent but lacks a proven star, creating a clear pathway for Cozart to carve out a significant role.
Having already re‑enrolled in Lexington for the upcoming campaign, he is focused on earning a spot in the rotation and becoming a major contributor on the field.
