Blue-chip quarterback Stone Saunders knows Lexington is home. He’s known it since he privately committed to Mark Stoops and the Kentucky coaching staff back in June, then publicly on August 4.
Ranked as a top-350 overall prospect and top-25 gunslinger, the Harrisburg, PA native simply felt prioritized by the Wildcats. Saunders wasn’t a fallback option at quarterback in the rising junior class, he was the program’s only option. Stoops, offensive coordinator Liam Coen and wide receivers coach Scott Woodward went above and beyond to make that clear.
