Defensive end Nicholas Smith has committed to Kentucky football

Kentucky football lands three star defensive end Nicholas Smith for 2025.

The 2025 recruiting class for Kentucky football continues to evolve, with commitments from a three-star receiver, and a three-star cornerback in the past few days. Now, the Wildcats have also picked up a commitment from defensive lineman Nicholas Smith.

Smith is a 6’7″, 275 lb defensive end out of Georgia. He is rated three stars by 247sports, and is their 99th rated defensive lineman. He visited Georgia Southern, but told Kentucky Sports Radio he was always locked in at Kentucky.

I’ve already been up there before. It’s for my family to see where I’m going to be playing for the next four years. They want to see how it is. I’m not going to say I’ve seen it all, but I’ve seen it pretty much. I’m ready to be a Wildcat.

The Wildcats are hosting multiple players over the weekend, and are looking to add talent, but they’ve had a solid week already. Smith is the latest addition to a class that keeps getting better.
