Kash Daniel commits to Kentucky Wildcats over Louisville, South Carolina

Arguably the best player form the state of Kentucky for 2016 is off the board.

Painstville linebacker Kash Daniel announced his commitment to the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday during a ceremony at his high school.

Daniel recently wrapped up an official visit to South Carolina before deciding he was finished with his visits.. The inside linebacker from Paintsville is rated as the No. 29 ILB by 247Sports for 2016. Last year, Daniel notched 180 tackles (111 solo) and four interceptions while being named second-team All-State.

The 6-3, 240-pound backer has become a phenomenon at Class A Paintsville High School since late last month, earning scholarship offers from the UK, Louisville, South Carolina and Purdue to go with interest from other BCS powers.
