Michael Drennen was one of Kentucky’s most celebrated pass-catching recruiting signees. Now he’s moving to the Wildcats’ running back room.
When the Dublin, Oh. native picked Kentucky over USC to join the 2020 recruiting class, he became just the fifth four-star pass-catcher signed by Mark Stoops. Known by many simply as Donut, he played sparingly as a slot receiver in his true freshman season, catching three passes for 26 yards.
Listed as an all-purpose back, Drennen was recruited by Eddie Gran to play wide receiver at Kentucky. John Settle had different plans for Drennen when the running backs coach recruited him at Wisconsin.
