Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats have their first commitment for the 2024 recruiting class, as Hayes Johnson announced on Thursday morning that he will be a Wildcat.
Johnson is currently ranked as a three-star offensive tackle and is the No. 2 overall player in the state of Kentucky, according to Rivals.
The Taylor County native was recruited by Vince Marrow and offensive line coach Zach Yenser. He chose the Cats over Baylor, Tennessee, Michigan State, and Louisville among others.
Johnson now becomes another name on a long list of in-state offensive linemen to join the Big Blue Wall.
