Visiting UK Recruits for Louisville Game

4- Star RB Storm Johnson (Loganville, GA) will be visiting UK this weekend and has publicly stated that he likes the Cats' offense and is giving them serious consideration. Johnson originally wanted to attend LSU, but the Tigers loss could be the Cats gain. Johnson is also considering Florida State, Penn State and Oregon. Don't look for a commitment as Johnson is planning on taking all of his visits. It will likely take a full out press by Joker to sway the running back away from the Seminoles.


3-Star Running Back Trevaughn Brooks (Crystal River, FL) will be in attendance this weekend and could possibly give the Cats his commitment. UK was the first school to offer Brooks and that has meant a lot to him. Arkansas and UCF are both recruiting him as well.


2-Star Tight End Tyler Robinson (Alcoa, TN) is being recruited by UK, Virginia Tech and some reports have Tennessee involved. Robinson will be taking in the Cats and Cards this weekend. Based on reports, its doubtful that Robinson will give his commitment during his visit. Some feel that Robinson is holding out for an offer from the Vols and a decision likely won't come until signing day.


2-Star RB/Linebacker Tyrrell Willis (Calloway County, KY) will attend the game this weekend. Based on reports, Willis doesn't have the Cats high on his list. Willis states that Louisville, Memphis and Tennessee are his favorites at this point. Hopefully a visit on game day will change his perception of Kentucky.

3-Star Linebacker Malcolm McDuffen (Hopkinsville, KY) is down to Purdue and Kentucky. There has been some buzz that McDuffen is ready to give the Cats his verbal. Some scouts feel that McDuffen will play defensive end and some suggest he will play linebacker in college. McDuffen is very athletic and is the type of "diamond in the rough" that UK has turned into solid SEC football players. There is a very good chance that McDuffen commits to the Cats during his visit this weekend.
*If any other players are announced, I will update this article to include them as well.
