Kentucky football recruiting is hotter than the temperatures across the Commonwealth, but that momentum has not been behind the offensive line. In fact, things were trending the opposite way after Jarvis Strickland decommitted. Eric Wolford hopped on that wave of momentum by securing a commitment from Tyreek Jemison.

This was a tightly contested recruiting win for the Cats. N.C. State, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, and Ole Miss were his other finalists. Things were up in the air until he finished off his summer traveling circuit with an official visit in Lexington. That trip appeared to do enough to put Kentucky over the top.

“I just really wanted to commit to Kentucky,” Jemison told KSR. “Just from the opportunities and relationships that I’ve built with Coach Wolf and Coach Stoops.”

Jemison is a 6-foot-5, 350-pound offensive lineman from Paulding County on the outskirts of Atlanta. He’s ranked by Rivals as a four-star talent and is the No. 667 overall player in the On3 Industry Ranking.

At the high school level, Jemison is a left tackle who also creates havoc on the defensive line. He’s projected to play offensive guard at the next level. The Kentucky offensive line big board was thin on interior offensive linemen. Jemison is one of the Cats’ top targets because of his explosiveness in the trenches. He fires out of his stance and is agile enough to move bodies away from the line of scrimmage. Kentucky is adding a pancake-producer to the Big Blue Wall.
