4-star DE JJ Weaver picks Kentucky: Highlights and Breakdown

Yahtzee struck on Friday afternoon when all-state defensive-end JJ Weaver announced his commitment to the University of Kentucky during a ceremony at Louisville Moore High School.

It was also his birthday, making the occasion even more special. Weaver was also considering Louisville, Purdue, and Miami, but the decision really came down to the Cats vs Cards. This is a huge commitment for Kentucky and marks yet another local recruiting win for Mark Stoops.

Weaver is 6-6, 230-pound physical specimen, who is rated as a 4-star prospect by 247 Sports. Originally from South Florida, he moved to Kentucky around fifth grade.
