There is some legitimate recruiting buzz for Kentucky football in August. High three-star defensive back Kenton Kirkland could be the next one to jump on the Big Blue wagon.
The Jacksonville (Fla.) Raines rising senior is the No. 474 ranked prospect in the class of 2023 according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. A top-100 prospect in Florida is down to two schools and is ready to make his decision.
Despite taking three unofficial visits to see Mike Norvell’s Florida State program since January, Kentucky is emerging as the favorite to land Kirkland.
