Vince Marrow compares Xavier Peters to Josh Allen, says there is a "very strong possibility" he is eligible this season

On Wednesday, the Kentucky football team received a commitment from Florida State transfer and former four-star pass-rushing target Xavier Peters. Just two days later, Kentucky recruiting coordinator Vince Marrow came on KSR to discuss the newest Wildcat and what he'll bring to the table during his time in Lexington. To get things started, Marrow said that the transfer actually just became official earlier this morning, meaning this is the first time he was able to talk about Peters publicly. "It actually just went legal about 10 minutes ago," he said. Out of high school, Peters was committed to Kentucky from July of 2017 through January of 2018, but then flipped his commitment to Florida State right before National Signing Day. When asked about what changed from his original recruitment to now, Marrow said the newest Wildcat simply got caught up in the hype and didn't follow through with where his heart truly was. "I mean, when you get Deion Sanders to recruit him personally, that just tells you how (big of a prospect he is)," he said. "He received negative feedback from fans after his decommitment. He got caught up in it all, (Florida State) was just where he wanted to go. Reality set in that he wanted to be with his family, he missed his son." At the time of his announcement, we all knew it was a massive get and that he'd end up being a star for the Wildcats eventually. When he'd be eligible to play due to NCAA transfer rules, however, was the only question at hand. According to Marrow, though, fans should expect to see Peters on the field this fall. "There is a very, very strong possibility that he'll be eligible this season," he said. "He'll be a freshman." And he didn't even attempt to slow down the hype train, either. When asked about his potential impact at Kentucky, Marrow said he sees a lot of Josh Allen in his game. "Oh, he's going to get minutes this season," he said. "He's probably the closest thing to Josh Allen, at least physically, right now. Xavier has that ability. He has the potential (to be like Allen)." Woah. [mobile_ad]
