How Kentucky can finish with Best Football Recruiting Class in School History

Kentucky’s success on the field has turned into tangible recruiting momentum. This is not the first time this phenomenon has occurred with Stoops leading the Wildcats’ football program, but now UK is taking it to another level. If UK finishes strong, a handful of players could make this the best Kentucky football recruiting class in school history.

Early Kentucky Football Recruiting Momentum

When Kentucky won its tenth game at the Citrus Bowl over Penn State, it had already signed most of its 2019 recruiting class. It took another year for the Wildcats to capitalize on the momentum, signing Justin Rogers, Josaih Hayes and Mike Drennen in 2020 to finish with a top 25 class.
