This weekend, the Kentucky football program hosted a good sized group of underclassmen as well as a few official visitors from the 2015 class.
Among those underclassmen was the cornerstone of the Wildcats 2016 recruiting class Versailles (Ky.) Woodford Co. offensive lineman Drake Jackson. Jackson has already stated that he was going to start recruiting for his class at Kentucky.
And in the first week Kentucky held visits for underclassmen, he was on the job. Although he's not the only Jackson trying to help out.
He and his father, Brian, took the opportunity to make a hard push at Louisville (Ky.) Male wide receiver Keion Wakefield Saturday.
Wakefield's father, Ron, told Kentucky Preps after the visit that the younger Jackson was pushing the younger Wakefield for a commitment, right then and there. And that Jackson's father hung out with the Wakefield's the entire day.
Wakefield has always liked Kentucky, but this bond may be just the thing to put the Wildcats over the edge. I still believe he's quite some ways from making a decision.
Here's the deal:
Wakefield wants to go to Oregon, above all. But now, it's looking more and more like that offer is not going to come through, even though last summer he camped in Eugene and won the wide receiver MVP. And even if they did offer, I think his family has the feeling it might not be the best fit. There are still a lot of other options out there for him -- including Cincinnati, Louisville. Those options will be fully and thoroughly looked at before any decision is made.
