5-star Kiyaunta Goodwin taking official visit to Alabama this weekend

College football recruiting truly never stops. On Saturday, No. 4 Alabama hosts Tennessee in a prime-time game, and Kiyaunta Goodwin will be in attendance at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Per Steve Wiltfong of 247 Sports, the five-star Kentucky pledge will take an official visit to Alabama this weekend.

“Kiyaunta Goodwin will take an official visit to Alabama this weekend,” writes Wiltfong. “The Kentucky commit has his official locked in with the Wildcats too. Future trips in mind to Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State.

On Nov. 6, Goodwin is scheduled to take an official visit to Kentucky when Tennessee visits Lexington. The Louisville native has made multiple stops at Kentucky since the summer and attended multiple games this season. Goodwin was one of the thousands who rushed the field following Kentucky’s upset home win over Florida on Oct. 2.

On3 has named Goodwin the top offensive tackle in the class of 2022, and there is a chance that the top-notch prospect could end up being Kentucky’s top-ranked recruit of the Mark Stoops era. However, big boy football recruiting never stops.

Vince Marrow did an excellent job securing Goodwin’s commitment in April, but Alabama and Ohio State have not stopped pursuing the blue-chipper. Kentucky is in a good spot and will need to have a successful official visit when Goodwin heads to Lexington again in November.
