Kentucky comes in at No. 16 in On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings

Kentucky football has the No. 16 recruiting class in America to open the month of November. In the newest On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings released Monday, UK came in ranked sixth in the SEC, behind only Alabama (1), Georgia (2), Texas A&M (8), LSU (11) and Missouri (14).

Kentucky has a total team score of 90.159 with one five-star, eight four-stars and six three-stars.

On3’s Peter Warren highlighted five-star offensive tackle Kiyaunta Goodwin as the “difference between a good and a great class” for UK as signing day inches closer.

16. Kentucky (90.159)

1 five-stars | 8 four-stars | 6 three-stars | 15 total recruits

Top Commit: Charlestown (Ind.) High offensive tackle Kiyaunta Goodwin, No. 14

Summary: Goodwin, the highest-ranked commit during the Mark Stoops era, is the superstar of the recruiting class for Kentucky. Goodwin is in the midst of visiting other schools but the Wildcats wouldn’t let me good with a fight. There are only one other player among the top 150 and five total players in the top 300 in the country committed to Kentucky. Goodwin is the difference between a good and a great class for the Wildcats.
