Mark Stoops and Kentucky scored two big recruiting victories for the price of one on Friday night, as twin brothers Jacob Smith and Jerod Smith Jr. decided to switch their commitments from Michigan.
The additions of Jacob (No. 97 overall in the 2024 ESPN 300) and Jerod (No. 153 overall in 2024), a pair of four-star defensive linemen, gives the Wildcats' class an immediate boost.
Born in Lexington and beginning their prep careers at Somerset High School (Kentucky), the twin brothers played their sophomore and junior seasons for Loomis Chaffee High School (Connecticut) before transferring to another school in Connecticut (Cheshire Academy) in January.
