Stein Targets Top QB Prospect Trace Hawkins | Kentucky Wildcats Football News

Kentucky’s new head coach, Will Stein, is already rewriting the recruiting playbook—especially for quarterbacks. With a track record of developing NFL-caliber passers, he’s drawing elite talent like Kenny Minchey, Matt Ponatoski, and top-30 recruit Jake Nawrot. Now, his sights are set on the 2028 class, with Georgia’s four-star QB Trace Hawkins—ranked 294 nationally and already 6’0”, 180 lbs—narrowing his list to six schools, including Kentucky, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Vanderbilt, LSU, and Duke. Stein’s early impact? He’s building relationships with future stars before they even step on campus. The Wildcats’ future looks promising under his leadership.
