A four-star, top-300 prospect out of high school, Kentucky wide receiver Dekel Crowdus hasn’t been the instant-impact playmaker many expected — himself included — when he signed with the Wildcats.
A knee injury held him out his freshman year, and now after a redshirt season, he’s had to wait his turn at receiver. True freshmen Dane Key and Barion Brown have been early standouts, as has Virginia Tech transfer Tayvion Robinson. DeMarcus Harris, Brenden Bates, Chauncey Magwood, Keaton Upshaw and Jordan Dingle have made up the bulk of Will Levis’ other targets.
