No. 1 football recruit Lebbeus Overton to visit Kentucky, per report

Kentucky is going up against the goliaths of college football for Lebbeus Overton, but the Wildcat coaching staff is putting up a good fight so far.

According to Steve Wiltfong of 247 Sports, Overton, a class of 2023 defensive end who is ranked as the No. 1 overall recruit in the country, will be in Lexington next weekend for Kentucky’s home matchup against UT-Chattanooga. The 6-foot-4, 265-pound prospect playing for Georgia powerhouse Milton High School included UK in his top 12 back in late August.

Overton will make it to campus on Friday, Sept.
