YAHTZEE! Russ Yeast commits to Kentucky!

We knew good news was coming, but this Yahtzee is extra special. Russ Yeast, son of UK legend Craig Yeast, just committed to Kentucky. The 2017 three-star athlete from Fremont, Ohio had offers from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisville, Maryland, Washington State, and others, but decided he will follow in his father’s footsteps at Kentucky. He’s considered a four-star prospect by ESPN.

Russ is considered the 33rd best wide receiver in the 2017 class and the 11th best player from the state of Ohio, making him a huge, huge get for Mark Stoops and staff.

Here’s his tweet announcing his commitment:

Truly blessed to be able to say that I am Officially Committed to the University of Kentucky #BBN pic.
