Meet Michael Drennen, the 2020 recruit Kentucky hopes will fill Lynn Bowden's role

LEXINGTON – Lynn Bowden is not walking through that door, but perhaps Kentucky football can add the next best thing with its final recruiting target in the 2020 class.

With 21 of 22 commitments signed in December and a scholarship crunch on the 2020 roster preventing further additions, Mark Stoops and his UK staff can spend most of January devoting its recruiting time to landing four-star Ohio prep athlete Michael Drennen.

“I wouldn’t call anyone Lynn Bowden, but he’s a similar-type talent where he can run it from scrimmage, he can play on the wing,” said Bill Greene, an Ohio recruiting analyst for 247Sports.
