Terrell Combs, Josh Gibbs and Justin Henderson have enrolled in the University of Kentucky for the spring semester and have joined the football team, Coach Joker Phillips announced Wednesday.

Combs has transferred to UK from the University of Minnesota, whom he originally signed with in 2008. A multi-positional athlete who is returning home to Lexington, he will be able to practice with the Wildcats but must complete a full year of academic residency before reaching playing eligibility. He will have two years of eligibility remaining, the 2011 and 2012 seasons. He was a defensive end and tight end at UM.

Gibbs, a junior-college safety, is transferring to UK after two seasons at College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, Calif. He will begin practice in the spring and has two years of eligibility remaining.

Henderson, a defensive end from Bamberg, S.C., graduated in December from Bamberg-Ehrhardt High School and has joined the Wildcats. He will begin practice in the spring.

“We're glad to have Terrell, Josh and Justin join our program and having them in spring practice will be a boost for their development,” Phillips said. “We're excited to have Terrell back in Lexington. He is an outstanding athlete and it will be interesting to see which position is best suited for his talents.

“Obviously, as a junior-college transfer, we hope that Josh can contribute quickly. After losing Calvin Harrison and Ashton Cobb at the safety positions, he will have the opportunity to earn immediate playing time.

“We identified Justin early in the recruiting process as a defensive end with size and athletic ability. It will be an advantage for him to be here a semester early and get a head start on his collegiate career.”
