Bluegrass Blitz: Top storylines from the state of Kentucky
The 2022 high school football season is just around the corner in the Bluegrass State. One of the state's top prospects is nearing a decision while another has reopened his recruiting process. More on that and a couple of other storylines to follow in the state of Kentucky as we near another exciting season.
Oryend Fisher nearing decision
Fisher has teased on his Instagram that a college decision is coming soon. The three-star took an official visit to West Virginia in June and made a July trek to Vanderbilt after receiving a recent offer from the Commodores. The Great Crossings product also has offers from Kentucky and Louisville, but this appears to be a battle between the Mountaineers and the Commodores.
Harkless reopens recruitment
Harkless made headlines on Tuesday when he announces his decommitment from Illinois and reopened his recruiting process. The three-star defensive tackle originally committed to the Illini back on June 5th following an official visit. Auburn, Cincinnati, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, Michigan, South Carolina, and Purdue were some of the other schools that extended offers. Harkless tweeted out an official offer from Ole Miss on Wednesday, so Lane Kiffin and the Rebels are definitely still in play and more schools will likely follow.
Highly-touted CB now located in Kentucky
On the heels of his commitment to Wake Forest on June 24, former Miami (Fla.) Christian cornerback Antonio Robinson is now enrolled at Beechwood (Ky.) for his upcoming senior season. A four-star prospect, Robinson definitely adds some star power and will be considered among the state’s best prospects moving forward in the updated 2023 rankings.
Top 2024 prospect keeps stacking offers
Johnson picked up a couple of new offers over the summer. The first being from Tennessee, where the top-ranked prospect in the 2024 class impressed the Vols coaching staff at camp. The three-star also swung by Louisville in July and picked up his latest offer from the Cardinals. Michigan State, Cincinnati, Baylor, and Kentucky are his other notable offers currently, although that number will continue to rise.
