The month of June saw Kentucky football land a number of very good recruits for the 2025 class, including a couple of top 200 players in Cedric Works and Javeon Campbell. In addition, they added a number of solid three-star players, and their class has risen up the rankings as a result.
Both 247sports and On3 released updated team rankings on Tuesday, and both have the Wildcats ranked inside the top 20. Both services also have the Cats in the top 10 in the SEC.

Kentucky comes in 19th for 247sports, just behind TCU. They have the average recruit graded at 88.78. On3 has the Wildcats ranked 20th, with Rutgers just in front of them. Their average recruit grade is 88.03.
The Wildcats are still waiting on a decision from other targets, so their ranking could still improve, but there’s no doubt that Mark Stoops and his staff have done a tremendous job thus far on the 2025 class.
