Kentucky locks in early official visit with top-500 recruit Terry Wiggins

A recent rule change in college football allows programs to host high school prospects in April for official visits. Kentucky is leaning into that rule change. Blue-chip quarterback Oscar Rios will be on campus from April 11-13 for his first official visit. The Southern California native will not be the only big target at the Joe Craft Football Training Facility.

Coatesville (Pa.) Area linebacker Terry Wiggins included Kentucky in his top-10 on March 7. Less than three weeks later, the top-500 recruit and top-15 player in Pennsylvania locked in an official visit to Kentucky.

Defensive coordinator Brad White is running point on this Mid-Atlantic recruitment for the Wildcats. Terry Wiggins received a scholarship offer from UK on Feb. 1. This has been a fast-moving recruitment ever since. The high three-star recruit also has official visits scheduled with Syracuse (June 6-8) and Penn State (June 13-15). Wiggins is fresh off an unofficial visit to see the Orange over the weekend.

Kentucky is still looking for its first commitment in the 2026 high school cycle. The first official visit weekend is just two weeks away. The Cats are hosting some big targets and could push for some verbal pledges.
