Why Kentucky? Maxwell Hairston: “The program is really good, and I feel I can go in and make it better.”

Kentucky football picked up its 15th commitment of the 2021 recruiting class this afternoon when three-star cornerback Maxwell Hairston picked the Wildcats over offers from Minnesota, Purdue, Kansas and Virginia Tech, among others.

“First and foremost, I want to start off by thanking God, because without him, none of this would be possible,” said Hairston. “Secondly, to my family. My mother, my father, my two sisters, and my older brother, the support you’ve given me when chasing my dreams drives me every single day and I love you all more than you’ll ever know. I cannot wait for our journey together to continue.
