Louisiana Tech WR Tru Edwards Transfers to Kentucky

[Matt Dillon]

Kentucky locked up another wide receiver from the transfer portal. Tru Edwards, a 6-foot-3 pass-catcher who most recently starred at Louisiana Tech, announced he will compete in his final season of college eligibility at Kentucky.

Like new Kentucky WR coach L’Damian Washington, Edwards is a Shreveport native. Alabama transfer Kendrick Law is also from Shreveport. They are two of the four free agent signings in the wide receiver room this offseason.

In 2024, Edwards led Louisiana Tech in receiving and was a First-Team All-Conference-USA selection. He led the league in receptions (84) and was second in receiving yards (986). Edwards caught six touchdown passes, and he would argue he should be credited with seven after this play was overturned in the Independence Bowl.

Well, we have now brought in 4 WRs and we still have Maclin. And, they are all going to want to play — a lot. We had better figure out how to throw the football. Could Stoops finally be committed to changing his approach to offense? We shall see.
