LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky football's momentum on the recruiting trail continued Friday. Only this time, coach Mark Stoops and the Wildcats looked further into the future.
After landing a commitment for its 2024 class earlier this week in Tennessee edge rusher Steven Soles Jr., UK picked up its first pledge in the 2025 cycle from Stone Saunders, a four-star quarterback from Pennsylvania. Saunders made the announcement during an appearance on ABC27 News, an affiliate in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Saunders chose UK over his four other finalists, which included powerhouse programs Georgia and Michigan as well as national championship-winners Miami and Nebraska.
