Four-star tight end Mikkel Skinner will visit Kentucky football on Friday

Kentucky football will host four-star tight end Mikkel Skinner on Friday and try to flip his commitment.

Kentucky football has a terrific recruiting class so far for 2025, but is still looking to add a tight end. They have missed on a few targets in this recruiting cycle, but are taking a swing once again with Cincinnati commit Mikkel Skinner.

Skinner is rated four stars by 247sports, and they have him as the number 211 prospect overall. He’s their 12th ranked tight end in the class, and the number two player from South Carolina.

Early in June, Skinner committed to the Cincinnati Bearcats, but the Wildcats offered him anyway on July 10th. Now, the Riverside High School product will take an unofficial visit to Lexington on Friday.

Coach Mark Stoops and his staff would love to flip Skinner to the Cats, and will certainly put the full-court press on when they get him into town. If they do, it would be a huge win, and another big recruit for the 2025 class for them.
