The Kentucky 2022 football recruiting class has received a ton of early hype. It’s deserved, after all, it is the highest-ranked in school history. Kiyaunta Goodwin, Barion Brown and Dane Key are already household names. One player on the other side of the line of scrimmage is being glossed over by too many around the Big Blue Nation, Alex Afari.
A four-star defensive back out of Lakota West High School in Cincinnati, he was a consensus Top 250 prospect. The Wildcats have only signed two other defensive backs of this caliber since Mark Stoops got to Kentucky.
