Kentucky was 'best fit' for 4-star LB Jayvant Brown

Perhaps the biggest surprise of signing day in December was when Kentucky landed a signature from Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas linebacker Jayvant Brown. The four-star linebacker had been committed to Michigan State before taking an official visit to Lexington in December.

Linebackers coach Mike Stoops recorded his first big South Florida recruiting win for the Wildcats and we should expect some more in the near future. This week, Brown is in San Antonio for the All-American Bowl. The class of 2023 prospect caught up with 247 Sports’ Steve Wiltfong to discuss his recruitment.
