The University of Kentucky is actively recruiting one of the state’s rising stars in the class of 2022.
Last week the Wildcats officially extended a scholarship offer to Caden Veltkamp, a 6-foot-5 pro-style quarterback from South Warren High School. UK is just the second school to offer Veltkamp, following Western Kentucky. Veltkamp’s father is the Toppers’ strength and conditioning coach. In a conversation with Rivals’ Josh Helmholdt, he described what happened once he learned the news from Kentucky.
“It meant a lot just because it was in-state and it’s always been a dream of mine to play in the SEC,” Veltkamp said.
