The hype of their high-profile recruitments behind them, UK’s five in-state signees from the class of 2016 hit the Commonwealth Stadium field Friday for the program’s annual media day, and their focus was squarely on the future.
Kash Daniel, Zy’Aire Hughes, Drake Jackson, Davonte Robinson and Landon Young were much celebrated during their high school careers. Daniel was the state’s Mr. Football, Young finished the recruiting cycle as a five-star prospect, and the other three were pursued by some of the most prestigious programs in the country.
Now, they’re all Kentucky Wildcats, low in the pecking order and eager to climb the ranks.
“I’m really excited,” said UK offensive line coach John Schlarman, the team’s primary in-state recruiter. “You got guys from Paintsville all the way out to Paducah. And every one of those guys that we signed from in state, we’re really excited about.
“All those guys have huge upsides. I think they’re going to have bright futures. Getting them in here and keeping them in Kentucky — now it’s time to go to work and let’s see what they can do to help our football team.”
Young and Jackson were considered to be two of the best high school offensive linemen in the country last fall, and UK fans will be eager to see what they’ve got.
