On Wednesday afternoon, Malachi Wood was one of the hundreds of talented athletes across the nation that officially put pen to paper. The Richmond, KY native fulfilled a longtime goal of signing to play football at the University of Kentucky.
Wood is one of 17 class of 2023 signees for the Wildcats this recruiting cycle, which ranks 35th in the nation, according to On3. Wood, a uniquely-tall 6-foot-8 offensive tackle, was one of the first high school seniors to get the ball rolling, committing to UK back in early March of this year.
