Kentucky loses a three-star offensive line recruit to Clemson

Kentucky football loses a three-star offensive line recruit for 2025 to Clemson.

It was a long and disappointing season for Kentucky football in 2024, and the offense was mostly to blame. The offensive line, in particular, struggled all season, especially when it came to protecting the quarterback.

With multiple veterans starting this season, the future of the offensive line is one of the big questions for the coaching staff to answer this offseason. Unfortunately, one of Kentucky’s offensive line recruits has decided to go elsewhere. Tucker Kattus flipped his commitment from the Wildcats to the Clemson Tigers on Sunday.

Kattus is a 6’5″, 285 tackle out of Ohio. He is rated three stars, and is the number 1,275 overall player in the 2025 class according to 247sports composite rankings.

The interesting part of this move is that Kattus was set to follow his two brothers to Lexington. Instead, he will forge his own path with Clemson. Good luck to Tucker in his college career.

Three star offensive lineman Tucker Kattus chooses Kentucky

The Kentucky Wildcats football team might struggle to land five-star recruits, but they are three for three in landing Kattus brothers. On Wednesday, offensive lineman Tucker Kattus committed to Kentucky.

Tucker is the third Kattus brother who will play for Kentucky, and is a three-star recruit in the 2025 class. He has good size, at 6’5″ and nearly 300 lbs, and is expected to play guard in college. He does have tackle experience, though.

Josh Kattus is a Junior for Kentucky, and will play tight end for the Wildcats. An effective blocker as well as receiver, he could take the starting job this fall.

Justin Kattus is a linebacker who is will be a walk-on for the Cats, and is the other brother of Josh and Tucker.

Tucker is the 62nd ranked offensive tackle for 247sports. He had offers from Michigan, Wisconsin, Virginia Tech, Missouri, and others, but chose to attend Kentucky with his brothers.
