How One Offer from UK Changed Owensboro Quarterback Gavin Wimsatt’s Recruitment

On a spring Saturday in May, Gavin Wimsatt made a phone call that altered the trajectory of the Owensboro quarterback’s career. He did not know how to respond once he finished talking to Vince Marrow.

“I was super excited. I kind of didn’t know what to do at the moment.” Wimsatt told KSR. “It was my first really big Power Five offer so I really didn’t know what to do.”

As Wimsatt relished in the moment, little did he know that he would be making that call many more times in the coming days to other schools across the country.
