Austin Kendall, a 2016 four-star QB from Waxhaw, North Carolina, committed to Tennessee last August. But after the Volunteers added three four-star QBs in the 2015 class, Kendall is reportedly reconsidering Kentucky. Austin is the little brother of UK walk-on WR Ryan Kendall. According to Cats Illustrated’s Justin Rowland, the younger Kendall expressed to him that it felt nice to feel wanted by Shannon Dawson and the UK staff.

According to Rivals, Kendall is the No. 3 pro-style QB in the country and the No. 27 player overall in the 2016 class. On a television appearance Wednesday with KSTV, Rowland said that he believed Kendall would be Kentucky’s top recruit of the Mark Stoops era. His Rivals ranking compares favorably to Drew Barker, who was the No. 5 pro-style QB and ranked No. 132 overall.

Other recruiting sites project Kendall lower, but he is a four-star prospect according to all four major services.

Scout: No. 19 QB
247 Sports: No. 8 pro-style QB
ESPN: No. 15 pocket passer

The Johnny Manziel look-alike made it to Lexington last weekend for a visit and the 247 Sports Crystal Ball projects a 38% chance that he ends up at Kentucky.

It helps that his brother is at and likes UK.

I'll predict the cats get this one.

UK’s guest list of football recruits for this weekend’s “junior day” event remains in flux due to the winter weather hitting Lexington and the surrounding region, but at least one major prospect has already made it to town.

Four-star quarterback Austin Kendall posted a picture of himself — in front of a pretty impressive snow drift — in the UK campus area Friday morning. Kendall is arguably UK’s top quarterback target in the class of 2016, and his brother Ryan is already a walk-on wide receiver for the Wildcats.

The 6-foot-3 prospect from North Carolina is currently committed to Tennessee, though he’s actively being recruited by UK and several other schools. The Vols signed three quarterbacks for the class of 2015 and are recruiting others in addition to Kendall for next year.

Rivals.com ranks Kendall as the No. 3 pro-style quarterback and No. 27 overall prospect in the class of 2016. If he picked UK, he would be the highest-rated commitment under Coach Mark Stoops.

Kendall also picked up a scholarship offer from Auburn on Friday.

UK is expected to have several high-profile visitors from the class of 2016 on campus over the next two weekends. The Cats already have eight commitments for next year.

I read where he had a good time on his visit to UT a week ago. It doesn't look good for the Cats.
