Kentucky is not messing around in the Deep South. The Wildcats are finalists for one of the most talented linebackers in the country. If he’s anything like the other players UK has recruited from South Georgia, Jaron Willis could become a star in Lexington.
A 6-foot-2, 220-pound outside linebacker, Willis calls Leesburg, Ga. home. Last year he shared the field with a Wildcat that arrived on campus this spring, wide receiver Chauncey Magwood. Jon Sumrall has had plenty of success recruiting South Georgia, recently landing Trevin Wallace after South Georgia product Jamin Davis starred for the Wildcats, setting the table for Kentucky to become a finalist for Willis’ services.
