Top Kentucky Football target Kamari Burns commits to Cincinnati

The University of Cincinnati has quickly become a major recruiting rival for Kentucky football.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Bearcats picked up the program’s 18th commitment for the class of 2023 in three-star defensive line prospect Kamari Burns, who is considered the 644th best rising high school senior per the On3 Consensus. Burns chose Cincinnati over the likes of Kentucky, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and Indiana.

The Gahanna Lincoln (OH) product bumps UC up to a top 20 recruiting class in the country, according to On3, and the best in the ACC. Burns is the 10th commit for the school since the month of June began.
