This weekend the top-ranked football player in the 2023 recruiting class is visiting Kentucky. Lebbeus Overton’s mother, a former Wildcat, says Kentucky is a “legitimate contender” in her son’s high-profile recruitment.
Overton is considered the No. 1 junior high school football player in America by many recruiting services. In the 2023 On300 rankings he comes in at No. 6, behind quarterback Arch Manning. A defensive end from Milton High School, a 7A powerhouse located just outside of Atlanta, Kentucky made his first cut, featured among other traditional college football elites in his top 12.
