It’s a Merry Flipmas for Kentucky on National Signing Day. Mark Stoops’ Wildcats will secure a signature from Kendrick Gilbert, a four-star defensive lineman previously committed to Purdue.
Kendrick Gilbert revealed on National Signing Day that he will be a Kentucky Wildcat. A lengthy recruitment, the Indianapolis Cathedral product officially visited LSU, Notre Dame, Purdue and Kentucky over the summer. The nearby school won the initial battle, but the Wildcats won the war.
He committed to Purdue in August. Kentucky remained in contact throughout the recruiting process, and when Jeff Brohm moved to Louisville, UK’s coaching staff seized the opportunity.
