Kentucky verbal 5-star OT Kiyaunta Goodwin down to UK, Michigan State

Charlestown (Ind.) five-star offensive tackle and Kentucky commit Kiyaunta Goodwin will be choosing between the Wildcats and Michigan State for his final college decision.

He had gone on visits to both teams, as well as Alabama, Florida State, Michigan, and Texas A&M, during the fall season.

“I know I have a lot to go over and a lot to think about, but I am ready,” Goodwin told On3’s Chad Simmons earlier this week. “All the schools are great, the coaches have been great, so now is it time to figure out what is best for me.”
