Shamar Porter’s commitment to Kentucky last week was quite the pleasant surprise for the Big Blue Nation. But make no mistake, Porter and UK have been building a tight-knit relationship for months.
Porter, a class of 2023 four-star WR considered the No. 151 ranked recruit in the country, initially picked up his offer from the Wildcats back on Nov. 19. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound pass-catcher out of Ensworth High School (TN) took a visit to Lexington for UK’s 56-16 win over New Mexico State where the scholarship came in from wide receivers coach Scott Woodward.
