Kentucky commit Ja'Kayden Ferguson will visit LSU
Despite tough win/loss results on the field for Kentucky football in 2024, high school recruiting is going well. The Wildcats have picked up four commitments since the season began flipping targets from Cincinnati, Missouri, and West Virginia. The Wildcats currently have the No. 21 overall recruiting class as the early signing period is just a month away.
There have been no signs yet of this class falling apart due to the tough season. Will that change?
On Sunday night, wide receiver commit Ja’Kayden Ferguson announced that he will be visiting LSU this weekend for the big night game at Tiger Stadium against Alabama.

The high three-star prospect committed to Kentucky in June and is now getting some interested from the Bayou Bengals. Ja’Kayden Ferguson is not the only Kentucky commit receiving some attention from Brian Kelly’s program. Four-star EDGE Cedric Works received an offer from LSU on Oct. 12.
Kentucky has pulled off some in-season flips while holding on their commitments. However, recruitments are never officially over until the signatures are in. Kentucky will have to fight off some competition over this final month. Expect schools to try and take advantage of a tough Kentucky season by attempting to pull off some late flips.
The Wildcats have issues to fix on the field, but some important recruiting work most also be completed during this bye week and over the next few weeks. The early signing period begins on Dec. 4.
