First college offer for class of 2023 linebacker Jaden Yates comes from Kentucky

Jaden Yates only has one scholarship offer, but his summer schedule would indicate that plenty more are on the way.

A linebacker prospect from the class of 2023, Yates is an under-the-radar recruit out of Gahanna Lincoln High School in Columbus, OH, who has quietly been receiving college interest from programs across the country. He’s heard from a wide list of schools, including a powerhouse program right near his current hom: Ohio State. But Kentucky and associate head coach Vince Marrow were the first to pull the trigger, as the coaching staff has continually done time and time again.
