One of Kentucky’s top cornerback prospects is now off the board. Billy Napier’s Florida program has recorded a significant in-state recruiting win.
Kissimmee (Fla.) Osceola defensive back Ja’Keem Jackson committed to the Gators on Thursday night over finalists Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky, Penn State, and Tennessee. Cornerbacks coach Corey Raymond scored a big recruiting for Florida to give their 2023 class 13 commitments and now five top-200 prospects.
Defensive backs coach Chris Collins made a strong run for Kentucky and got Jackson on campus for a multi-day unofficial visit in June.
