Kentucky football makes the cut for 2025 offensive lineman Jacobe Ward

Offensive line recruit Jacobe Ward has Kentucky football in his final six.

The Kentucky Wildcats have made the final schools list for three-star interior offensive lineman Jacobe Ward, according to Chris Beasmore of A Sea of Blue. The six schools vying for Ward’s services are Kentucky, the Auburn Tigers, Tennessee Volunteers, South Carolina, LSU Tigers, and Alabama Crimson Tide.

The 6-4, 305-pound OL from Benedictine Military School in Savannah, Georgia Ward is ranked as the No. 673 overall prospect in the 2025 recruiting class. He’s number 40 among interior offensive linemen and number 76 overall in the state of Georgia, according to 247Sports.

According to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine, Auburn has the best chance at landing Ward, with its forecast at 98.2% for the Tigers.

South Carolina and Alabama are the other programs with the biggest chance to land Ward. However, both programs have less than a 1% chance to earn his commitment according Steve Wiltfong of On3.

The Wildcats aren’t currently the odds-on favorites for his services, but it’s encouraging to be among his final choices. It shows that Kentucky’s coaching staff is doing good work at getting recruits’ attention.
