Kentucky landed a talented running back at an unusual time. After a few delays, the Wildcats did what they had to do: close on a playmaker in the backfield. That’s exactly what happened when Kentucky picked up a commitment from Jamarion Wilcox, beating out Clemson, Ohio State and Auburn for the prized recruit.

Nick Roush and Adam Luckett prepared for the occasion by breaking down what Wilcox’s addition means for Liam Coen’s offense. Of all the talented pieces in Kentucky’s 2023 recruiting class, Wilcox will be the one most relied upon to make an impact right away this fall. Let KSR’s Football guys explain why on the KSR YouTube Channel.
