Kentucky is Hosting a Top Five Football Recruit this Weekend

247 Sports

Last weekend UK rolled out the Blue Carpet for the top in-state football recruits. This weekend UK will host the best of the best from the Buckeye State.

Earlier today on KSR, Matt Jones teased there would be a “huge” recruit in town this weekend. To describe that recruit as “huge” might be an understatement.

Paris Johnson Jr. is the No. 5 high school football player in America. The 6’7″ 300-pound offensive tackle from Cincinnati St. X is the top-ranked offensive lineman in the country. Johnson committed to Ohio State last June, but he’s spending this weekend in Lexington.
