Kentucky locks in official visit with top-200 EDGE Cedric Works

Ohio has become a recruiting pipeline for Kentucky football during the Mark Stoops era. Recruiting ace Vince Marrow has consistently signed prospects for the Wildcats out of the Buckeye State. UK is in a position to take advantage of a very deep 2025 class up north. A key target locked in an official visit with Kentucky on Monday.

247 Sports’ Josh Edwards is reporting that top-200 EDGE Cedric Works has locked in an official visit (June 21-23) with Kentucky. The top 10 prospect in Ohio also has an official visit scheduled with Penn State (May 31-June 2).

Cedric Works (6-5, 230) is high school teammates with 2025 tackle prospect Jayden Clark. The latter just finished an unofficial visit with Kentucky over the weekend. Works received a scholarship offer from Kentucky 11 months ago. The Wildcats have quietly built up that relationship and have put themselves in a position to close on the four-star prospect. Works posted 82 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks as a junior.

Kentucky currently has five scholarship EDGE players on the roster but will lose super senior J.J. Weaver after the season. The Wildcats need to address this position in the 2025 recruiting cycle. Cedric Works is one of the top targets on the board. The Wildcats currently have five commits in the class of 2025 but zero defensive prospects.
