That didn't take long.

Barely a day after mutually agreeing to part ways with Ohio State, sophomore offensive lineman Marcelys Jones will transfer to Kentucky, according to Kentucky Sports Radio's Matt Jones.

The Courier-Journal also reported Friday that Jones spent the day in Lexington for an official visit and committed near the end of his time on campus.

Jones, out of Glenville High School in Cleveland, saw action in two games last season for Ohio State but never made his way into the two-deep for the Buckeyes.

The Wildcats were seen as an heavy favorite for Jones' services out of high school before he earned an offer from Urban Meyer's staff, committing on Christmas Day 2012.

Jones was a three-star prospect out of Glenville and the No. 21 rated guard in the country as a member of the class of 2014. He was part of a three-player group out of Glenville to commit to Ohio State in that class along with Erick Smith and Marshon Lattimore.
