Kiyaunta Goodwin is no longer with the Kentucky football program, but the Big Blue Nation can still thank him for the assist with Hayes Johnson.
Johnson, a three-star offensive tackle out of Taylor County (Ky.) High School, announced his commitment to the Kentucky Wildcats on Thursday morning. He kicks off the class of 2024 as the first pledge for the ‘Cats, bringing his 6-foot-3, 295-pound frame and goose-hunting skills to Kroger Field. A lifelong fan of UK, it wasn’t exactly a tough decision to make for Johnson in the end, but he was still courted by several big-name programs.
