Former UK wide receiver JaVonte Richardson recommits to the Cats

The Kentucky Wildcats have scored a big-time commitment in the class of 2019.

It comes in the form of four-star junior college wide receiver JaVonte Richardson, who announced his pledge to UK on Sunday:

The 6-4, 220-pound wideout is currently playing this season at Iowa Western Community College following his departure from UK due to academic issues in January 2018.

Richardson was the fourth-highest ranked recruit in Kentucky’s 2017 recruiting class, behind only Lynn Bowden, Josh Paschal, and Tyrell Ajian. That should tell you a lot about how highly touted he was as a recruit.
