LEXINGTON — Kentucky football’s 2024 recruiting class finished 25th nationally, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. That ranked 11th among the 14 schools competing in the SEC last season.
The road ahead is even tougher: Oklahoma and Texas will be part of the league when the 2024 campaign kicks off.
Still, the Wildcats’ 2024 recruiting haul marked only the fourth time in coach Mark Stoops’ tenure — dating back to his first signing class in 2013 — the program inked a class that ranked among the country’s 25 best. (The other occurrences were 2014, 2020 and 2022.) Stoops aims to make the 2025 cycle yet another top-25 effort.
But UK is taking its time with 2025 prospects: It has only three commits so far.
Quarterback Stone Saunders got the ball rolling for the Wildcats’ 2025 class, committing in August. Kentucky didn’t add another player to the class until Feb. 5, when wide receiver Quintin Simmons Jr. joined the group. A third offensive player gave his pledge Friday night, when Philadelphia running back Isaiah West committed to UK.
