Texas EDGE Ben Duncum locks in official visit with Kentucky

Spring football came to a close on the University of Kentucky campus on Saturday afternoon. That same weekend also kicked off official visit weekend with quarterback Oscar Rios and linebacker Terry Wiggins completing official visits. We’ve also reached spring transfer portal weekend.

Expect to see some heavy recruiting movement across college football. Kentucky is currently working on adding more official visits for the big recruiting sprint in June. We’ve got another to add to the list.

Ben Duncum is an unranked prospect in the 2026 class. The latest Kentucky target recorded 16 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and four sacks against high-end high school competition as a junior. Duncum also throws discus for the Lake Travis track team. Kentucky defensive line coach Anwar Stewart issued a scholarship offer to Duncum on March 31 and quickly got an official visit scheduled. Wisconsin, California, Maryland, Houston, and Utah are other power conference program to issue offers.

Oklahoma State also has an official visit locked in with Ben Duncum. The Cowboys are also emerging as a top competitor in the recruitment of Rios. Could a head-to-head battle battle between the Cats and Pokes be brewing?

Another front seven target has been moved to the top of the big board.
