Why Kentucky was a "Perfect Fit" for Destin & Keaten Wade

The first football recruiting home run in the 2022 class was a package deal. Destin and Keaten Wade turned down their home state school of Tennessee to become Kentucky Wildcats. A terrific tandem, Kentucky set themselves apart from other schools by not separating the twins from the recruiting pitch.

Keaten Wade is the higher ranked prospect of the two. The 6-foot-4, 225 pound athlete is one of the nation’s top edge rushers, ranked as high as No. 177 overall by Rivals. Destin Wade is an incredible athlete at quarterback, but you will not find him inside the top 300 of recruiting rankings.
