UK Football offers Louisville Baseball commit, Frederick Douglass freshman

Could the University of Kentucky steal one of Louisville’s incoming commits? Even more oddly, could the Cats’ football team grab the Cards’ baseball commit?

That’s the current situation for the rival programs and Thomas Howard, a freshman at Frederick Douglass High School in Lexington, Kentucky. Howard, listed at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds by Rivals, is currently a UofL baseball commit. However, the Kentucky football program has also now extended an offer, according to a tweet posted by Howard Monday afternoon.

Howard originally announced his commitment to the Louisville baseball team on August 30, 2019.
