For the second time in a week, Kentucky has reeled in another recruit from the city of Louisville that will play in the front seven. After landing the services of hybrid defensive end/linebacker JJ Weaver, Mark Stoops and Vince Marrow picked up a pledge from a versatile linebacker today.
Jared Casey hails from Ballard High School in Louisville and is a 6-foot-3, 220-pound linebacker who can play inside or outside in UK’s 3-4 scheme. After committing to Oregon earlier this fall, the four-star prospect had a change of heart and made the call to stay close to home.
