It’s been an excellent summer on the recruiting trail for Vince Marrow and company so far. Of Kentucky football’s 17 commits on board for the 2025 cycle, 11 of them announced their decisions since the start of June. This talented group is headlined by a handful of potential stars, too.

On Monday, our good friends at On3 updated its Top 300 player rankings for the 2025 recruiting class. Among the bunch were four future Wildcats: RB Marquise Davis (No. 64), DL Javeon Campbell (No. 136), EDGE Cedric Works (No. 178), and S Martels Carter (No. 282).

All four commits are considered four-star talents by On3, with Davis receiving the most significant boost, moving up 49 spots from the previous update. Carter also saw a jump in his ranking after he was not included in the last On300 update. Additionally, Campbell dropped just one spot while Works remained in the same position.

Other notable Kentucky targets to crack the list include uncommitted LB Christian Gass (No. 85) and WR Andrew Marsh (No. 167). CB Dawayne Galloway (No. 130), who committed to Purdue over the Wildcats a few days ago, also made the cut.

With On3’s update, Kentucky’s 2025 recruiting class holds firm at 20th in the nation and 10th in the Southeastern Conference. Three-star IOL Isaac Sowells Jr. out of Louisville is the last major target with a scheduled announcement date (July 18). He’ll decide between UK and NC State.

Below are the updated player rankings via the On3 Industry Ranking, which takes into account the rankings from other major recruiting services including 247Sports, Rivals, and ESPN, along with On3’s own rankings. Kentucky has seven commits ranked among the top 400.
