Kentucky recorded its sixth recruiting win in July on Saturday evening. Three-star athlete Nasir Addison has committed to the Wildcats.
The two-way player at Irvington (N.J.) High is listed as a receiver by most recruiting services, but Kentucky has recruited the prospect to play defensive back. After committing to Maryland on Oct. 9, Addison backed off that pledge this month with Florida State, Kentucky, Michigan State, and Ole Miss emerging as the top options. The Wildcats defeated a couple of Power Five programs to land a recruit from New Jersey for the first time since signing Josh Allen in 2015.
