New position coach <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/coach\/ldamian-washington-77305\/\">L\u2019Damian Washington<\/a><\/strong> has his eyes on a talented pass-catcher from the Ivy League.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yale transfer WR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/david-pantelis-31965\/\">David Pantelis<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Davidpantelis11\/status\/1875285798582624612\">announced an offer<\/a> from the Wildcats on Friday. <\/strong>The 5-foot-11, 200-pound slot receiver is coming off a First-Team All-Ivy League selection that saw him haul in 69 receptions for 1,018 yards and 11 touchdowns across 11 games played in 2024. For reference, Kentucky as a team had just 15 receiving touchdowns in 2024. <\/p>\n<p>After spending the last four seasons at the FCS level, Pantelis is garnering plenty of Power 4 interest now that he\u2019s exhausted his Ivy League eligibility. He\u2019s also announced offers from the likes of Stanford, Missouri, Michigan, West Virginia, and California. He\u2019s scheduled to visit Michigan soon, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/michigan-wolverines\/news\/yale-wr-transfer-david-pantelis-set-to-visit-michigan-this-weekend\/\">according to The Wolverine\u2019s EJ Holland<\/a>, and could very well make a trip to Lexington as well. <\/p>\n<p>Pantelis has one year of college eligibility remaining. <\/p>\n<p>An All-State wide receiver at Upper St. Clair High School in Pennsylvania (the same school attended by Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz), Pantelis received some light Division I interest before choosing Yale. He was productive right away as a true freshman in 2021, recording three touchdowns on six receptions while filling on special teams. His play continued to improve as a sophomore with 39 catches for 518 yards and a pair of scores. <\/p>\n<p>An injury in 2023 limited Pantelis to just five games played, but he still managed to produce 13 receptions, 125 yards, and a touchdown when healthy. His breakout season would follow as a senior with career-highs across the board. Could he bring those skills to Kroger Field in 2025? <\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/kentucky-wildcats\/news\/kentucky-offers-yale-transfer-wr-david-pantelis\/\">Kentucky offers Yale transfer WR David Pantelis<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/\">On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kentucky has some reloading to do in the wide receiver room for 2025.
