Kentucky target Ben Duncum locks in commitment date
Texas has never been a Kentucky football recruiting pipeline state but that could be changing in the 2026 high school cycle. Is this SEC program going to add a third commitment from the Lonestar State to the recruiting class in June?
Austin (Texas) Lake Travis defensive lineman Ben Duncum is ready to end his recruitment. The prospect could join two other Texas natives in Kentucky’s 2026 class when he announces his commitment on Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. CT.
San Antonio (Texas) Cornerstone Christian wide receiver Davis McCray committed to Kentucky on June 3. Katy (Texas) High cornerback Isaiah McMillian join UK’s class on June 22. Ben Duncum could become the third Texas recruiting for the program.
