New faces for Kentucky football: Meet 3 freshman you'll see on the field this fall

LEXINGTON — Recruiting is the lifeblood of every college football program. Kentucky is no different. And while football freshmen rarely have the same immediate influence on a team as their basketball brethren, it's always a fun exercise to forecast which members of a program's most recent signing class could play a major role from Day 1.

The Wildcats' 2023 recruiting haul checked in at No. 32 nationally (No. 12 among SEC clubs), per the 247Sports Composite rankings.

After UK and coach Mark Stoops released the two-deep depth chart for Saturday's season opener versus Ball State, we have a better idea of which freshmen are in line for playing time.
