Things are going pretty well for Kentucky football in recruiting these days.
Mark Stoops’ team currently has the No. 19 recruiting class in 247Sports’ class of 2025 rankings. The Wildcats have received four pledges from recruits graded as 4-star prospects and 10 pledges from players ranked as 3-star prospects.
On Wednesday, 247Sports released its updated recruiting rankings for the class of 2025. Four Kentucky commitments made the site’s Top247 rankings: EDGE Cedric Works, wide receiver Quintin Simmons Jr., safety Martels Carter Jr., and their latest commitment: defensive lineman Javeon Campbell.
Campbell was the top-rated recruit in the Bluegrass State and chose Kentucky over offers from Alabama, Auburn and Miami.
