Kentucky cracks Top 5 for 3-star DL Tavion Gadson

Kentucky is looking to add a defensive lineman to its 2023 recruiting class.
On Wednesday night, three-star DL Tavion Gadson dropped his top five list of schools on social media, which included Florida State, Kentucky, Tennessee, Minnesota, and Georgia. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound prospect out of Savannah, GA is considered the No. 707 overall rising senior and the 79th best DL in the country, per the On3 Consensus.
Gadson has taken two official visits so far this summer to Minnesota (June 10) and Florida State (June 24). He has an official visit to Tennessee planned for this weekend — his second trip to see the Vols in as many months after taking an unofficial visit in June. Gadson took an unofficial to Lexington in June and plans on returning to Kentucky in the fall for an official visit, although a decision could come as soon as early August.

Florida State appears to hold the edge right now — On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Seminoles in the lead with a 35.8 percent to land Gadson. Two analysts from Rivals and one from 247Sports logged picks in favor of FSU, all of them coming in late June.
Kentucky currently has 13 commitments from the ’23 class, led by a pair of four stars in WR Shamar Porter and S Avery Stuart. The group is ranked No. 33 overall and eighth in the SEC by On3. UK has not received a pledge from a defensive lineman yet.
