Ahmir Smith Heads to Kentucky | Kentucky Wildcats Football News

Ahmir Smith, a dynamic 5’10”, 204-pound running back from Garden City Community College, is officially headed to Kentucky — joining a loaded backfield that includes CJ Baxter, Jovantae Barnes, and others. A high school standout with 1,700 rushing yards and 31 touchdowns, Smith brings proven talent after a modest but memorable stint with Northern Illinois — including a role in their historic upset of No. 5 Notre Dame. At Garden City, he rushed for 322 yards and 5 TDs while adding 183 receiving yards and 3 more scores. Kentucky’s history of developing talent from Garden City — including Terry Wilson and Lonnie Johnson Jr. — makes this a smart move for both the player and the Wildcats.
