Kentucky football opens December signing period with high-profile recruiting wins

LEXINGTON - Kentucky footballs recruiting success in the 2022 class carried over to the first half of signing day Wednesday.

While UK coaches waited to learn if they would hold onto five-star offensive line commitment Kiyaunta Goodwin -- the Louisville native planned to announce his final decision between UK and Michigan State at 5 p.m. -- there was plenty of other good news.

Four-star Detroit, Michigan prep defensive lineman Deone Walker picked UK over Michigan and Georgia just before 11 a.m. Kentucky hosted the massive 6-foot-7, 355-pound lineman for an official visit over the weekend but still had to fight off a late charge from home-state Michigan.
