Since Eddie Gran’s arrival, the South Florida area has become a very fertile recruiting ground for the Kentucky football program. The last couple of recruiting classes we’ve seen Gran sign multiple prospects from Fort Lauderdale Chaminade-Madonna high school.

The Cardinal Gibbons Chiefs won the state title this year in the 5A division and for the majority of that season they were led by an undersized quarterback. Nik Scalzo is clearly under six feet, but on the gridiron he brings a style of play and competitiveness that will be very contagious to his teammates and the fan base.
