DeAndre Square
Position: Inside Linebacker
Class: Junior
Measurements: 6-1, 217 lbs.
Hometown: Detroit, Michigan
School: Cass Tech
Recruit Rankings: No. 544 nationally, No. 37 S via 247 Sports Composite Rankings
Jersey Number: Square announced this summer he was switching to No. 5 for his junior season. He was previously No. 17.
Notice how Square was listed as a safety coming out of high school. Despite the fact that he played linebacker, he weighed less than 200 pounds, so some recruiting services just assumed he would make the switch.
Well, that clearly wasn’t what Mark Stoops had planned. Square picked the Cats over offers from the Arizona Wildcats, Cincinnati Bearcats, Iowa Hawkeyes, LSU Tigers, and Michigan State Spartans, among others. So, regardless of his skinny frame, many top schools realized his potential.
Moreover, the former three-star prospect helped start the Kentucky pipeline into the state of Michigan, which has now seen the Cats land five-star Justin Rogers; four-stars Jeremy Flax and Marquan McCall; and high three-stars Deondre Buford and Earnest Sanders IV.
So, while his presence has clearly helped off the field, let’s see what he’s done on the field. His talent was clear from the start as Square played in all 13 games as a true freshman, including getting his first career start in the Citrus Bowl against the Penn State Nittany Lions.
His play earned him First Team Freshman All-Sec after totaling 35 tackles, 3.5 TFL, three quarterback hurries (QBH), one sack, one PBU, and one forced fumble.
