With the staff facing the daunting task of replacing its entire starting secondary, three of the four recruits still on UK’s radar heading into signing day projected to play cornerback in college. Mark Stoops and company landed one of those players — four-star Pennsylvania native M.J. Devonshire — while losing two other four-star cornerback prospects to LSU and South Carolina.
