So, why did Rivals downgrade Kentucky Wildcats commitment Drake Jackson?
Probably, it is recruiting politics. For Kentucky to have (gasp!) two top-100 players just doesn't happen. Jackson did all the right things with Rivals and attended the Rivals 100 Five Star Challenge camp along with Landon Young and Jedrick Wills. Jackson was left off the Five Star Challenge first and second teams.
You can see that Young made the 2nd team and Wills made the 1st team. Check it out here. How could they "allow" three Kentucky offensive linemen make the top two teams, especially when they knew that Jackson had already been invited to Nike's The Opening?
