MAJOR BREAKING: MORE GOOD NEWS: 5 STAR SHARPSHOOTER OFFICIALLY COMMITS TO KENTUCKY WILDCATS BLUE NATION
4-star DB Marquis Bryant commits to Kentucky Football
Will Stein lands another big-time recruit for the football Cats!
Kentucky Football continues to have a monstrous start to the 2027 recruiting class, the latest commitment coming on Wednesday from 4-star safety Marquis Bryant.
Hayes Fawcett broke the news first on Twitter that Bryant had made his pledge to Will Stein’s program. The former North Carolina pledge decommitted from Bill Belichick’s program earlier this month, and after getting Bryant for a visit to Lexington shortly after, he’s now a Wildcat.
A 5-foot-11, 185-pound product of Rolesville High School in North Carolina, Bryant is ranked 284th nationally by Rivals Industry Ranking, which factors in all of the major recruiting services. He’s ranked as high as 193rd nationally by 247 Sports, which also has him 18th among safeties and ninth in the state of North Carolina.
Bryant commits to Kentucky while holding additional scholarship offers from Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Miami, Missouri, Ole Miss, and Florida State, among others.
Kentucky’s 2027 recruiting class is now ranked 14th overall at On3 and sixth at 247 Sports. And at just 13 commits, there’s potential for it to move even higher as more commitments are made over the summer.
You could not have asked for a better start to the Will Stein era in Lexington!
When Will Stein became the new head man in Lexington, Kentucky football fans heard a coach with passion and a will to win take the stage. He declared that he would go out and get the best players in the country to come into Kroger Field and help turn Kentucky into a powerhouse.
And, so far, the man told the truth, and then some. Stein just landed a commitment from a four-star safety and landed the No. 2 QB in the country, too. But it’s one of his latest recruits, Matthew Obermeier, that has the most interesting story.
Obermeier is a kicker from Carmel, Indiana. He grew up wanting to play soccer, having never put pads on and taking the gridiron. But after getting cut from his high school soccer team, a different dream emerged.
An Entirely Different Dream for Matthew Obermeier
Obermeier was crushed that his soccer dream had died, but he called it “a blessing in disguise,” per Yahoo Sports. That blessing had him try out for the football team, though things were far from easy at first
