The Kentucky Wildcats got knocked off Saturday night at Kroger Field, but the play on the field once again impressed a full recruit visitor list. It was good enough that they have even landed a commitment from another 4-star prospect in the 2027 class.
According to Chad Simmons of Rivals and On3, 4-star athlete Trace Washington has committed to Will Stein and UK. He chose the Cats over offers from Florida State, Mississippi State, Penn State, Pittsburgh, and several others.
Washington, a 6-1 and 200-pound
athlete out of Canton (GA), was thought to be a linebacker for many schools at the next level. However, it sounds like the Cats are looking at adding him to the backfield mix as a running back in Lexington.
“Kentucky has been in the mix since last year, but just recently this year they have started really showing me that they want me as a running back,” Washington told Simmons.
Ranked as the No. 446 prospect in the 2027 class according to the 247 Sports Composite rankings, Washington becomes the 26th commit in the class, and the third running back commit alongside Mason Ball and Kelsey Gerald. He is also the second commit from Sequoyah High School alongside Drew Williams.
Will Stein has impressed on the recruiting trail, and it continues to pay off. Welcome to the BBN!
