Stephen Johnson commits to Kentucky Wildcats

The Kentucky Wildcats are already poised to finish 2016 with one of the best recruiting classes in recent memory, and it just got better.

UK has added a much-needed piece in the form of a quarterback after losing Reese Phillips and Patrick Towles to transfers this offseason. That's come by junior college quarterback Stephen Johnson II committing to the Cats while planning to sign and enroll for the spring semester.

This has been a fast recruitment between the Cats and Johnson. It wasn't until late December that UK offered a scholarship to the three-star College of the Desert quarterback.
