Four-star football recruit — and the son of a former UK star — commits to the Cats | Lexington Herald Leader

Moses Douglass is keeping Kentucky football in the family.

Douglass — a 6-foot-2, 185-pound prospect from Springfield, Ohio — committed to UK during a visit to Lexington on Saturday. 247Sports ranks him as the No. 18 safety and No. 244 prospect nationally in the class of 2019, and he’s been a major UK recruiting target for years.

He joins four-star defensive back Keontra Smith and three-star linebacker KD McDaniel as the Wildcats’ third commitment for the 2019 class.

Douglass’s father is Maurice Douglass, the former UK defensive back who went on to play 11 seasons in the NFL, nine of them with the Chicago Bears.
