Joey Gatewood and Beau Allen Invite Competition in a Crowded Kentucky Quarterback Room

Kentucky ran out of quarterbacks in 2019. Just a few months later the Wildcats have an embarrassment of riches in the quarterback room.

Mark Stoops successfully recruited a homegrown legacy recruit, Beau Allen, to join the 2020 class last spring. As the Early Signing Period drew near, another talented prospect popped up on their radar when Auburn’s Joey Gatewood entered the transfer portal. A former top 50 recruit, UK’s coaching staff made a significant impression to sign the outstanding athlete.

A crowded quarterback room is a problem in many college football programs. That’s currently not the case at Kentucky.
