Jaremiah Anglin cleared to return from injury

Lake Wales (Fla.) High defensive back Jaremiah Anglin Jr. was a top-500 recruiting win for Kentucky in the class of 2023. However, the Sunshine State native had to miss his entire true freshman season after suffering a torn ACL. Anglin underwent surgery in April and has been on a rehab journey over the last eight months at the Joe Craft Football Training Facility.

That journey is officially over. The redshirt freshman has been cleared to play football.

Jaremiah Anglin Jr. led Lake Wales to a Florida 3A state title in 2022 recording 54 tackles, 20 pass breakups, eight interceptions, and six forced fumbles. Anglin possessed strong coverage skills on his high school tape and could become a factor sooner rather than later at safety for Kentucky now that the young player is healthy. Anglin was a stat stuffer in high school who consistently got his hands on the football in coverage.

Kentucky enters the 2024 season with a proven top-four at safety led by Zion Childress, Jordan Lovett, Ty Bryan, and Krisitan Story. However, Brad White’s defense must build some depth before the season arrives. Jaremiah Anglin Jr. could fill one of those depth roles now that he is available to participate in football activities.
