Third Highest Ranked Player Ever At Kentucky<\/h3>\n

Currently,\u00a0Mark Stoops<\/strong> and the Wildcats have the highest-ranked class in history heading into next season. As it stands right now the Cats rank 13th in the nation <\/a>and fifth in the SEC with 18 commitments. A big reason for that lofty rating is a big-time offensive lineman commit from Indiana. Let’s introduce you to him and what he brings to Lexington as Kentucky signs five-star Kiyaunta Goodwin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sweating It Out<\/h3>\n

Goodwin picked the Cats back on April 17th<\/a> in a ceremony broadcast on CBS Sports HQ. In the process, he chose the Cats over a who\u2019s who of college football. Those schools included Alabama, Clemson, Michigan State, and Ohio State among others. In addition, Goodwin had offers from 71 different schools which is more than half of all FBS schools.<\/p>\n

However, in nearly eight months since Goodwin committed he’s visited many of the top schools in the country. In fact, over the last month, he traveled to SEC powers Alabama and Texas A&M. Furthermore, Goodwin hit the state of Michigan visiting the Wolverines and Michigan State this past weekend. In the end, score another recruiting victory for Vince Marrow<\/strong> who held onto him even after his early commitment.<\/p>\n
