Rivals Rating: 3-star – #59 CB

Kentucky has received the letter of intent from Eric Dixon.

He has the potential to play cornerback or safety at Kentucky.

Rivals Rating: 3-star – #54 RB
Scout Rating: 3-star – #31 RB

The signed letter of intent just came in for Josh Clemmons. He’s a running back from Whitewater High School that represents more of a traditional every-down back than UK fans have been used to in recent years.

Darrian Miller-OL-Lexington, KY (Bryan Station)
6’5″ 265 lbs
ESPN-*** #21
Rivals-*** #45
Scout-**** #17
Scouts love his size and the quickness that goes along with it but everyone agrees he’ll need time to fill out and work on his technique. His abilities lend to him being a monstrous run blocker.

6’4″ 230 lbs.
ESPN-** NR
Rivals-** NR

ESPN-*** #136
Rivals-*** #59
Scout-*** # 89
Nobody quite knows where to put him yet, Scout.com has him at safety and ESPN has him on offense. We had another guy come through here that was labeled as a “tweener” because of his size, don’t remember how it worked out though. I think I heard something about him flying. Check out the video below, and you might see some levitation.
Also Considered- Illinois, Navy, UAB
Demarco Robinson- WR– Lithonia, GA (MLK H.S.)
5’10” 170 lbs

Theltus Cobbins – QB – 6’2 / 190 – New Orleans, LA
Rivals Rating: 3-star – #26 QB
Scout Rating: 3-star – #61 QB
ESPN Rating: 3-star – #52 QB
Kentucky has just received Theltus Cobbins’ letter of intent to play for the Wildcats. He’s a dual-threat quarterback from McDonogh 35 in New Orleans that has made a name for himself with both his legs AND his arm. He could definitely stick at quarterback, or could be moved to receiver or defensive back later in his career. Cobbins is a very versatile athlete.
(Cobbins wears #7)

Rashad Cunningham – WR – 6’4 / 200 – Mobile, AL
Rivals Rating: 3-star – NR WR
Scout Rating: 3-star – #159 WR
ESPN Rating: 2-star – #165 WR
Kentucky has received a letter of intent from Rashad Cunningham. Coming to Lexington from Davidson High School in Mobile, Cunningham is a prototypical pro-style receiver. He has size and speed and has reported times as fast as 4.4 seconds in the forty-yard dash. He’s done a lot to become part of this class and he might be the most underrated signing of the day.
~~~~~
Glenn Faulkner – S – 6’2 / 195 – East St, Louis, IL
Rivals Rating: 4-star – #8 S
Scout Rating: 4-star – #24 S
ESPN Rating: 3-star – #20 S
Faulkner committed to Kentucky back in March and has stuck by the Wildcats ever since. As a U.S. Army All-American, he finished up a monstrous high school career by participating in the all-star game on national television. Very few freshmen are able to come in and contribute early in their careers, but Faulkner might have one of the best chances on the team.
