The foundation of UK’s 2021 football recruiting class is built on homegrown talent. Kentucky would like to add at least one more big name from the Commonwealth, Jager Burton.
A four-star recruit, the Frederick Douglass offensive lineman is the top-ranked player in the state and No. 158 player in America, according to Rivals. Burton has narrowed his list of choices to seven. Many believe it’s down to Ohio State, Kentucky and Alabama.
Dave Lackford, who recently predicted Burton to Bama, had a 30-minute conversation with Burton as his first order of business following a promotion to Buckeye Grove, OSU’s Rivals’ site.
