UK picks up another 2010 Commitment

Nermin Delic (Dalton, GA) who had previously been committed to Maryland has changed his mind and committed to UK. Based on reports UK had offered Delic a while back, but you have to wonder if Alex Smith's commitment to UNC opened up a spot for Delic. Delic is listed as a 3-star DE/TE according to Rivals. Congratulations to Delic and UK. He appears to have the size (6'4" and 220lbs) to be a physical tight end in the SEC.

  1. I was a bit bummed about missing out on Smith. Hopefully Delic can play well at TE, if that is where they intend him. I honestly think this offense opens up a lot with a solid TE. Cats need some consistency there.

  2. I agree, UK needs a tight end. Some want Boyd to move there, but I don't think he has the size to block. UK has several players committed for 2010 that could play TE.

    Delic headlines all-region squad

    From Staff Reports

    Northwest Whitfield’s Nermin Delic, who has made a verbal commitment to play at Kentucky, has been selected the 2009 All-Region 7-4A Defensive Player of the Year in a vote of region coaches.

    Delic was also voted to the first-team offense as a tight end.

    A 6-foot-4-inch, 240-pound senior, Delic recorded 79 tackles and caused three fumbles in helping the Bruins (7-4) reach the first round of the state Class 4A playoffs where they lost to second-ranked Southwest DeKalb, 40-3. Offensively, Delic caught four passes for 55 yards, a 13.7-yard average, and two touchdowns. He scored one defensive touchdown during the season.

    Prior to his senior season, Delic committed to Mary-land, but recently changed his mind and now plans to sign with Kentucky on Feb. 3, national signing day.

    Delic is joined on the all-region defensive team by teammate Jay Motley, a linebacker. Motley had 134 tackles the area’s second-leading total, recovered two fumbles and caused one.
