Cov Cath TE Willie Rodriguez on the verge of landing Kentucky offer

Willie Rodriguez is one of the fastest-rising recruits in the Bluegrass State. The 6-foot-4 tight end is coming off a shortened junior season at Covington Catholic that saw him haul in five touchdowns and 300 receiving yards in just five games played. A broken elbow put an end to his impressive start, but those five games — along with his impressive wrestling resume — have put him on the national radar as a budding prospect from the class of 2024.

So far, Rodriguez holds over 20 Division I scholarships. The likes of Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, Indiana, Boston College, Minnesota, Duke, UCF, Vanderbilt, and Georgia Tech make up his expanding offer sheet.
