Kentucky recorded its fourth recruiting win at wide receiver in the 2026 high school cycle on Tuesday when long-time Auburn commit Denairius Gray flipped to Kentucky. That seemingly has shutdown wide receiver recruiting for now.

That is not the same for other programs. Kentucky target Keymian Henderson Jr. has come off the board. The 6-foot-4 wideout committed to Arkansas on Saturday afternoon.

Keymian Henderson is the No. 518 ranked prospect in the 2026 Rivals Industry Ranking and a top-75 player in Texas. The East Texas native had June official visits scheduled with Arkansas, Kentucky, and TCU. Sam Pittman‘s program recorded a seventh recruiting win in the Lonestar State this cycle. The Hogs currently have a top-25 class with 26 total commits.

Last cycle, Arkansas flipped JaKayden Ferguson from Kentucky. Now the Hogs have crossed paths with Kentucky in Texas for another wide receiver prospect.

The Cats hosted a plethora of targets at wide receiver during the June official visit blitz and all of them have made college decisions after Henderson’s commitment. UK worked swiftly to address this position over the summer.
