Sneads (Fla.) High senior Jason Patterson was one of Kentucky’s top offensive recruiting targets back in the summer. The Wildcats hosted the 2022 rushing yards king in Florida high school football for an official visit in June and felt good about where that recruitment stoop. Unfortunately, Cincinnati was able to pull off a massive recruiting win in July.
Despite the commitment, Kentucky remained steady in this recruitment as there was a significant need for two tailbacks in the 2024 cycle. Running backs coach Jay Boulware worked consistently to get Patterson flipped.
