Fast-rising 2022 defensive lineman Ahmad Moten snags Kentucky offer

Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Cardinal Gibbons defensive lineman Ahmad Moten has gone from a relative unknown to one of Florid’s hottest prospects in a matter of weeks. Thursday night, Moten picked up another big offer, this time from Kentucky.

He announced it on his Twitter account, saying: “Blessed to receive an offer from the University of Kentucky.” The Wildcats are the seventh program to extend an offer to Moten in the past two weeks.

Prior to this season, Moten held one offer from FCS program Western Carolina. In early October, he received a visit from Iowa State coach Matt Campbell, who gave Moten his first FBS offer. East Carolina, Maryland and West Virginia quickly followed. Offers from USF, Memphis, Indiana, Illinois, Syracuse, Oregon and now Kentucky have come since October 27.

He’s yet to take any official visits, but Moten did make the short trip to see Miami play this past weekend. And he’ll be in Gainesville this week for Florida‘s game against Samford.

Through seven games this season, Ahmad Moten has put together an impressive stat line from the defensive tackle position. He’s totaled 26 tackles, including four tackles for loss, as well as three sacks and a forced fumble.
