The biggest name on UK’s football recruiting board with national signing day four weeks away is actually a player who’s been committed to the Cats since last summer.
Four-star linebacker Xavier Peters, who announced his pledge to Kentucky in July, was the only member of the Cats’ 2018 recruiting class who did not officially sign with the program during the early signing period last month.
Peters is a hot commodity — especially after his showing at the Under Armour All-America Game in Florida last week — but, according to his high school coach, he hasn’t shown much sign of wavering in his commitment to the Cats.
