UK coach Mark Stoops reviews 2018 spring game Jon Hale/Courier Journal
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Kentucky football program has picked up its first in-state commitment in more than two years.
West Jessamine High School offensive lineman Eli Cox, a three-star recruit in the class of 2019, committed to Kentucky Monday, just a week after receiving a scholarship offer from the Wildcats. Cox is UK’s first in-state commitment in the 2019 class. Mark Stoops’ program did not sign a Kentucky native in 2018.
Cox picked UK over reported scholarship offers from Cincinnati, Marshall, Toledo and Western Michigan.
