Scott Satterfield has shown throughout his Louisville tenure that he has no interest in recruiting players from the state of Kentucky. That’s why this decision may come as a surprise to some. After all, Collins did just leave the state, revealing last week that he’s transferring from Louisville Male High School to Murfreesboro (Tn.) powerhouse, Oakland.

A three-star, top 500 prospect, Jeremiah Collins is the No. 3 player from the state of Kentucky according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. A 6-foot-2, 150-pound defensive back, he’s a Top 50 cornerback that’s one of the most well-respected pass defenders in the region.

Kentucky’s Vince Marrow has kept close tabs on Jeremiah Collins, although KSR is unaware if he made a visit to the Lexington campus this fall. Searching for at least a pair of cornerbacks in the 2023 recruiting class, UK is trying to close on Cristian Conyer this weekend in a battle against Tennessee. The Wildcats also have irons in the fire for a pair of four-star corners from Florida, Ja’Keem Jackson and Robert Stafford. Now that he’s no longer pledged to Scott Satterfield’s Louisville Cardinals, consider Kentucky officially in the mix for Jeremiah Collins.
