NEWS NOW: Kentucky Football confirm Top-100 commitment

Here’s a paraphrased version:

“How about a game of Yahtzee to start your Thursday afternoon?

The Kentucky Wildcats have been highly successful in recruiting throughout June, with Mark Stoops and his team consistently outperforming other top programs to secure new additions to their roster.

Today is no exception, as Vince Marrow has secured a commitment from one of his most highly sought-after recruits yet.

According to Hayes Fawcett of On3, 4-star edge rusher Cedric Works has committed to Kentucky.

Works confirmed the news on Twitter.”

He opted for the Wildcats over offers from Penn State and Florida.

Works, a 6-foot-5, 230-pound edge rusher from Clayton, Ohio, has been on Kentucky’s radar for some time. Following a recent official visit to Lexington, speculation grew stronger that Kentucky would secure the commitment of this top-20 edge prospect. It seems those predictions have now come to fruition.

The recruiting success of Vince Marrow and Mark Stoops in Ohio has been widely recognized since their arrival in Lexington. Works’ commitment serves as another testament to their pivotal roles in advancing the football program.

Works is rated as a 4-star prospect in the class of 2025, ranked 86th overall nationally by 247 Sports. He is also regarded as the sixth-best player in Ohio and the 11th-best edge prospect.
