Jayden Clark, 3-Star Ohio Offensive Tackle, Commits to Kentucky

Following a big Top 10 win for the Wildcats, Kentucky picked up another win on the recruiting trail. Jayden Clark, a three-star offensive tackle from Ohio, announced his commitment to Kentucky.

A 6-foot-5, 250-pound athlete from Clayton Northmont High School, Clark chose the Wildcats over Indiana, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Purdue, and Pitt.

Clark is the No. 73 OT in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 45 player in Ohio.

Clark was recruited to Kentucky by Vince Marrow and Eric Wolford. The Wildcats liked what they saw from the offensive lineman as an underclassman, however, his junior season was cut short by a knee injury. After some back-and-forth over the summer, Kentucky saw the talented offensive tackle in action on Friday nights this fall, enough to convince them to go all in.

He previously officially visited Indiana and Cincinnati. Clark still has an OV to Kentucky on the table, but he was in Lexington for the season opener against Southern Miss. Minnesota and Missouri were entering the chat, but Clark clearly appreciated the pitch from Kentucky’s coaching staff.

“What stood out was how much they cared,” Clark told KSR+. “I could tell how much they wanted me and they were very caring. They made sure my mom felt comfortable if I were to go there. It was a great visit.”

Clark is the 18th player to join Kentucky’s Top 25 2025 recruiting class. Mark Stoops brought Eric Wolford back to Lexington, and that’s exactly what he’s done. There are now five offensive line commitments in the class, four of which are offensive tackles — Derrin Strey, Bryan Auguste, Jermiel Atkins, and Clark.
