Montgomery (Ala.) Alabama Christian Academy defensive back Avery Stuart joined Kentucky’s 2023 recruiting class on Wednesday and this is a significant recruiting win for the Wildcats. There is no denying that.
The blue-chip prospect is the No. 222 prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. The Wildcats have only landed two other defensive backs — Tyrell Ajian and Alex Afari — that also ranked inside the top 250.
When signatures come in December, Avery Stuart has a chance to be one of the more prized recruits in Kentucky’s haul as safeties coach Frank Buffano has recorded a big-time win on the trail within the traditional SEC footprint.
