One of the top high school juniors from the state of Missouri is heavily considering the Kentucky Wildcats. Tyler Gant, a three-star defensive lineman out of the St. Louis area, included UK among his top 5 potential college choices earlier on Monday. The 6-foot-3, 260-pounder also included Iowa State, Arkansas, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
Gant initially received his offer from Kentucky back in late April, just his second from a Power 5 program. He later visited UK’s campus during June for a camp workout. Kentucky safeties coach Frank Buffano has been Gant’s lead recruiter thus far with defensive line coach Anwar Stewart also involved.
