Kentucky Lands Big OL Commit

Reed Gerken, a massive six-foot-five, 305-pound offensive lineman from Perrysburg, Ohio, just committed to Kentucky over offers from Illinois, Virginia Tech, and Wisconsin — and he’s not alone. In just two days, Kentucky landed four new recruits, including Gerken, wide receiver Austin Coles, linebacker Drew Williams, and four-star defensive lineman Malachi Brown. Gerken, who’s seen as a dominant force up front, was heavily pursued by Kentucky’s coaching staff — including visits from offensive line coach Cutter Leftwich and offensive coordinator Joe Sloan — and still plans to take an official visit later this month. With this momentum, Kentucky’s 2027 class is rapidly taking shape, blending elite talent across positions to build a stronger future roster.
