There is a history with Kentucky.
The Wildcats were very much a player during Tyler Baron’s high school recruitment were considered a potential landing spot when Baron entered the transfer portal after the 2021 season. However, the defensive end quickly decided to return to Tennessee and is now looking for a new home two years later.
Do not be surprised if Kentucky becomes a contender in a Tyler Baron recruitment again, but expect numerous schools to get involved with the latest college football free agent.
