DE Grace commits to UK!

[Basil Cat]

Looks to be a very desirable get from the portal. Definitely an addition UK needed. Apparently had a Georgia offer as well.

Was just about to start a thread on this…..

Grace, Gusta and Williams is a tremendous haul on the DL. Keep up this pace of getting really good transfers and we will be a solid 2 deep everywhere. They said that GA did want Grace. I like this going to smaller schools for studs instead of backups at the top football schools. Anxious to see how it turns out.

BIG TIME get. 70th ranked player overall in the portal and the 11th ranked edge player. It’s crazy how much (on paper) both sides of the line have improved looking at players going out vs players coming in.

Welcome to the BBN young man!!!!!

This dude is a PLAYER!!

Strong and athletic for his size!!! A true edge that we've needed for a long time!!!

Now all we need is an LT and it will have been a great transfer portal haul. It's very good now, but that is the final missing piece.

Add on Edwards and they couldn’t have done much better. Hopefully it shows on the field next year

I think Watson will be the starting MLB, taking Jackson's spot.

I’ve said go get proven talent no matter who they play for over guys sitting the bench in Power 3. Good pickup

To be completely accurate, need to factor in Ox, and any other graduating senior on DL, plus Walker

Need Hayes to step up big time.

Totally agree. Was just doing a comparison of how we faired in the portal.

I feel pretty good about the future of our program (whoever is leading it) that the UK brand and NIL is still pretty strong considering we kept a decent recruiting class together and have the 8th ranked portal class.

HIs play in the FCS play offs was outstanding. He's a true edge with a fast get off. You know he's talented or Georgia wouldn't have wsnted him.

Much more proven than any HS players.
