3-star RB Kaden Moorman will announce college decision on Friday
On Saturday, Kaden Moorman witnessed Kentucky beat Florida in Lexington for the first time in 35 years. On Sunday, he posted to Twitter that he’s ready to make a commitment.
Moorman, a three-star class of 2023 running back from Franklin County, intends to make his college decision this Friday, Oct. 8. Growing up roughly 40 minutes outside of Lexington in the state’s capital of Frankfort, the versatile 5-foot-10 athlete picked up an offer from associate head coach Vince Marrow and Kentucky back in the middle of June. Moorman has been trending toward UK ever since.
In addition to the ‘Cats, Moorman also holds Divison I offers from Wisconsin and Toledo.
Moorman received his offer from Marrow and the ‘Cats following an impressive camp outing over the summer. When the scholarship eventually came in, he couldn’t believe it.
“It’s so surreal. I’ve been playing football since I was four years old so it’s like crazy…” Moorman told KSR in June. “I love Kentucky. I had a Kentucky alumni, Ryan Timmons, he went to my high school.”
