Naquil Betrand picks Texas A&M over Kentucky

The men’s basketball program has been on a recruiting tear, earning a trio of 5-star commitments in just over a month, but the football program has been on a tear of their own.

In the month of July alone, six high school football prospects pledged their allegiance to the University of Kentucky, and on Saturday another target made his college decision.

However, it was not in favor of the Wildcats.

Naquil Betrand, a 6-foot-7, 310-pound, offensive tackle from Philadelphia, committed to Texas A&M over the Auburn Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, Kentucky Wildcats, Penn State Nittany Lions, and the Syracuse Orange.
