2023 UK Football Recruiting: Updated Big Board

C.W.S.pipesealer · Jun 20, 2022

College football teams are now headed into arguably the most action-packed part of the new recruiting calendar. UK and others have spent the last month hosting 2023 players for official and unofficial visits with just one final week of visits allowed until the 2-month long Dead Period begins. After this week, players are not permitted officially or unofficially visit campuses until Sept. This new extended dead period in combination with the Dec Signing Day is why so many prospects are taking their OVs in the early Summer and then making their commitment during the Summer Dead Period that follows.

So, where does UK stand headed into this final week of Summer visits? UK currently sits at #46 in the rivals rankings (#8 in SEC). When looking at the Team Rankings based on average star rankings, UK sits at tied for #37 with an average star rating of 3.0 (#10 in SEC).

UK is sitting at 7 commits as of June 20. Who are the 2023 prospects most likely to fill out the remaining spots? That's anybody's guess, but if history repeats itself, the list will primarily come from the prospects that have visited over the last month (in 2022, 18 of UK's 20 signees visited during the month of June). Thus far, UK has hosted 25 uncommitted prospects from the 2023 class who have an offer according to rivals (12 of which have a 4-star ranking). Here's the breakdown.
