Kentucky Football got two new commits for the class of 2018 on February 21. Both commitments were on the same day, from the same high school.

Mark Stoops is setting a new standard for recruiting for Kentucky Football. After finishing out the 2017 Recruiting Class, Stoops and company went to work on the next wave of Cats that hope to make their way to Lexington.

Kentucky currently has just three lone recruits in the class of 2018. Jarren Williams, a three star, dual threat quarterback from Lawrenceville, Georgia was the first commit to Big Blue. Jarren is rated as the 17th overall dual threat quarterback in this class according to 247 Sports. Following along are two Florida products that happen to be from the same school.

Chaminade-Madonna Prep

The high school, located in Hollywood Florida has had four total Kentucky commits in two recruiting cycles. Last season, Chaminade-Madonna produced wide receiver, Joshua Ali, as well as defensive end, Christopher Whittaker.

Its looking like Stoops and company have made another home base in South Florida as they received word that two new Chaminade players have committed to the Cats. Both three star players, Davoan Hawkins (DE) and Marvin Alexander (WR) round out the beginning of the 2018 recruiting cycle.

Justin Rowland of Cats Illustrated gave his scouting report on the new additions via KSTV:

The new duo will look to be the beginnings of a recruiting class that will help solidify Mark Stoops’ credibility as head coach.

The Future of Kentucky Football

Kentucky has done a great job at recruiting the state of Ohio. What needs to happen, is the Cats need to start snagging talent from Florida. The sunshine state has produced major talent in recent years.

The Wildcats and coach Eddie Gran, who has experience recruiting the area, need to land more talent in the south to keep up with the big dogs of the SEC. These two commitments are a great start for the future of Kentucky Football in this 2018 recruiting cycle.
