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.

Auburn’s top-10 2025 recruiting class is filled with several talented offensive linemen. However, the Tigers have a chance to enhance its haul by adding a three-star lineman from Savannah, Georgia.

Auburn is looking to close the deal on several offensive linemen including [autotag]Jacobe Ward[/autotag], a 6-4, 305-pound OL from Benedictine Military School in Savannah, Georgia. [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag], offensive line coach [autotag]Jake Thornton[/autotag], and staff are close to making it happen according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine. Auburn Live writers Jeffrey Lee and Cole Pinkston have submitted predictions in favor of Auburn landing Ward, which pushes its forecast to 98.2%.

In March, Ward told Lee that Auburn was his top choice by saying that Auburn provides a “great fit” for him due to Auburn’s practice intensity and his relationship with Thornton.

“The relationships I have with all of the coaches, they just keep it real with me, especially Coach (Jake) Thornton. He’s such a good guy,” Ward said. “He told me that I could possibly be a day one starter here and that’s something I like to hear.”

Auburn has four offensive linemen committed for its 2025 class: [autotag]Tavaris Dice[/autotag], [autotag]Carde Smith[/autotag], [autotag]Spencer Dowland[/autotag], and [autotag]Tai Buster[/autotag]. In addition to Ward, Auburn is also in a great spot to land four-star OT [autotag]Broderick Shull[/autotag] as On3 gives the Tigers a 92.0% chance to secure Shull’s pledge.

South Carolina and Alabama are the other programs in the hunt to land Ward. However, both programs have less than a 1% chance to earn his commitment according to On3.
