Columbia (S.C.) Hammond School offensive tackle
Drew Bobo
has two summer official visits in mind, and Kentucky is one of them.
The 6'5, 278-pound three-star (5.7 RR) Palmetto State prospect is the son of Auburn offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, previously at South Carolina, so the connection to UK is obvious with offensive line coach Eric Wolford joining Mark Stoops' staff in Lexington following the Gamecocks' decision to part ways with Will Muschamp.
Bobo will be at Auburn High School in Alabama for his senior year of high school.
While prospects are in unenviable circumstances during the current dead period Bobo seems to have a fairly good grasp of his options and where things stand for now.
"Coach Wolf texts me almost every day," said Bobo, who is ranked the No. 9 player in South Carolina and the No. 56 offensive tackle prospect from the 2022 class. "I really like the program and Coach Wolf and want to visit this summer."
Bobo clarified that this would be an official visit.
"I'm going to Georgia Tech as my other (official) I'm taking this summer," Bobo said. "Georgia Tech is June 11-13 but I don't know the Kentucky dates yet."
Maryland, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia are among the other schools that have verbally offered Bobo.
While Kentucky and Georgia Tech would seem to be in a good spot with Bobo, one month ago in an interview with Duck Sports Authority he said "no schools are standing out".
Last year Cody Williams of Palmetto Preps provided a scouting report for Bobo: "First thing that jumps out at you is his size, he has all the physical makings of a big time lineman. The next thing that jumped out at me was his ability to block in space. Most high school linemen that have his strength and size lack the mobility to get in space and lead block, but that is not the case with Bobo. He has a great sense of where the next block is going to be, and is what we like to term in the industry as a mauler; once his hands are on you he is going to work to drive you to the ground. He also does a great job of identifying the rushers and picking up the interior blitz when needed. One area that Bobo will need to continue focusing on going forward is working his pad level down. While he has the size advantage now, that will be gone at the next level and he will need to drive low to handle the matchups."
