Louisville (KY) Male offensive lineman Isaac “Spike” Sowells is considered to be among Kentucky football’s top targets from the 2025 recruiting cycle. The 6-foot-2, 290-pound high school junior will be in Lexington tomorrow for another visit to check out the Wildcats.

As KSR mentioned last week, Sowells is among the dozens of prospects expected to visit Kentucky over the next several weeks. He’ll get the ball rolling as the first visitor, just in time for the Wildcats’ first practice of the spring.

According to the On3 Industry Ranking, Sowells is considered a three-star recruit and the No. 576 overall junior in the country. He’s rated as the fourth-best ’25 prospect from the state of Kentucky.

Sowells is no stranger to the Kentucky football program. Although his dad played college ball at Indiana before enjoying a brief career in the NFL, the Wildcats have been recruiting him for close to a full year now. UK was Sowells’ fifth division I offer and his first from an SEC program. He’s visited campus multiple times.

“I’m a big priority for them,” Sowells, who is being recruited by Vince Marrow, recently told Jacob Polacheck of KSR+. “They want me. I can lead the Big Blue Wall and be a big contributor.”

Back in February, Sowells cut his list of college options down to 10. They include Kentucky, Louisville, Penn State, Miami (FL), NC State, West Virginia, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Virginia, and Indiana. He’s already visited Penn State, Miami (FL), and NC State this month. He’ll return to the Wolfpack and Hurricanes in June for official visits. Wisconsin offered after he dropped his list, too.

Kentucky has yet to land a lineman on either side of the ball from the 2025 class up to this point. The Wildcats have received four commits in this cycle from 4-star WR Quintin Simmons, 3-star QB Stone Saunders, 3-star RB Isaiah West, and 3-star QB Brennan Ward.

Landing Sowells would be significant for the future of the Big Blue Wall — Tuesday’s visit could go a long way in helping make that happen.
