State of 2021 recruiting
- Thread starter Rembrandt90
- Start date
There are currently no scholarship players from the state of NC on UK’s football roster. Stoops has been trying for years to gain a larger recruiting footprint in NC. Brad White and Anwar Stewart should help with recruiting in NC and VA.
FWIW, other websites currently rate Dameon Wilson higher than Rivals rates him. According to reports, Wilson currently holds offers from MI and four SEC schools.
Dameon Wilson is from Kings Mountain hs. So is WR Kobe Paysour, who holds scholarship offers from five SEC schools, including UK.
Since the hire of Anwar Stewart, Kentucky has offered a ton of kids in NC. They are definitely trying to gain a footprint there. We will see how successful that proves to be, but if they can pull a recruit or two from there on occasion, it would certainly be a good thing as NC produces quite a bit of talent.
Thank you @Rock_Cat78 and @Rembrandt90 for keeping all of us caught up on UK Football recruiting!! It is VERY MUCH appreciated!!

Former teammate of Joel Williams, who by the way stated to UK media that Kentucky has a silent commitment from a couple of of 2021 Louisiana guys. IF this is true, I'd guess Raby to be one of them.
Also keep a close eye on this kid. Josh Edwards put in a UK crystal ball pick for him today. Kentucky was his first offer well over a year ago and he has visited multiple times. Might give Stoops his first commit from Missouri, a place they have put out a lot of offers the past few years. High three star here at Rivals, but a four star, nationally rated guy at both 247 and ESPN.
Will be at least his 3rd or 4th visit to Kentucky. Major, major target, but a long line of suitors. Another Missouri kid who UK offered first a long time ago.
Sure seems there should be opportunity there. Who’s the last St. Louis area recruit we landed? Glenn Faulkner?
Jantzen Dunn is now a 4 star on TOS and ranked 212th in the country.
Mark Stoops picked up a verbal commitment yesterday from Paul Rodriguez, a 6’5 305# OT from William Mason hs in Mason, OH. Rodriguez is ranked in the top 30 in the state of OH. This brings to two the number of 2021 UK football commitments. The other current UK verbal commitment recently came from LB Devon Williams of Dublin, OH. Both are being recruited by Vince Marrow.
It now appears that the following players may be early leaners toward UK-
Travion Ford, LB, St. Louis, MO
Brody Wisecarver, OL, St. Louis,MO
Jamarius Dinkins, DL, Columbus, OH
Dekel Crowdus, ATH, Lexington, KY
Lavell Wright, RB, Ratcliff, KY
There will be questions about whether Wright’s offer is committable. I don’t know. Stoops and Marrow want to sign every instate prospect with SEC level talent, but UK has already made offers to a large group of RB prospects. Another RB with early interest in UK is Jaylen Anderson from Massillon, OH.

UK received the third 2021 commitment yesterday. Here is our current 2021 class-
Paul Rodriguez, OL
Devon Williams, LB
David Wohlabaugh, OL
All three players are being recruited by Vince Marrow.
Wohlabaugh, from Stow, OH, comes from a football family. His father played in the NFL and his big brother is a college football player. Wohlabaugh's interest in UK has been well known. He was mentioned in the OP for this thread back on Dec. 4.
Mark Stoops appears to be prioritizing the OL in this class, since Luke Fortner, Landon Young, and Drake Jackson will be seniors next fall.

Haven't heard that but I'm sure you're right . As of now I just know he has offers from UK and U6. If he projects as a defensive player it would hurt Browns chances (IMO), but if he wants to be a tight end that gets thrown to a lot then maybe West Virginia becomes more attractive . There's a long time to go .
Now that John Edge has been named head coach at Apollo, I'm 100 percent sure they will be the team to beat in the city sooner rather than later. I played for him at Owensboro Catholic. Would still run through a brick wall for that man.
Kentucky cracks the top five for this 4* Florida LB.

Ky must be loaded this year...0.91 Four Star recruit listed as 33rd best player in the state

That should probably be a 3 instead of 33. Lol.
