Kentucky locks in official visit with tackle target Tyler Duell

Kentucky got on the board in the 2026 high school recruiting cycle on Sunday when priority tackle prospect Jarvis Strickland committed to the Wildcats. That was a nice start at a position of need, but offensive line coach Eric Wolford and the rest of UK’s staff isn’t done at that position yet.

West Chester (Pa.) East tackle Tyler Duell has official visits locked in with Rutgers, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh. Kentucky became the fourth school to get an official visit scheduled with the high three-star prospect.

Tyler Duell is the No. 521 ranked player in the 2026 On3 Industry Ranking. Kentucky issued a scholarship offer to Duell on Feb. 3. The Mid-Atlantic prospect then made it to campus for a spring practice visit on March 31. Kentucky then got an official visit scheduled following that trip to Lexington. The stop will be a mid-week visit where Duell should receive a ton of one-on-one attention from the Kentucky coaching staff.

Another trench target has emerged for the Wildcats.
