Mark Stoops hopes to utilize 4-star freshman Destin Wade

Four-star freshman Destin Wade came to Kentucky as a versatile offensive talent capable of playing multiple positions. He’s listed, though, as a quarterback, working with fellow pass-throwers Will Levis, Kaiya Sheron and Deuce Hogan.

It comes after Wade was named Mr. Football in Tennessee’s 6A class, the largest classification of high school football in the Volunteer state. A consensus four-star prospect and top-20 ATH in his class after rushing for 2,308 yards and 30 touchdowns while throwing for 1,436 yards and 18 touchdowns as a senior, he chose the Wildcats over Tennessee, Louisville and Virginia.
