LEXINGTON — After nearly four months on the job, the first full recruiting class under Kentucky football coach Will Stein is slowly coming together.
As of April 4, the Wildcats have five commitments in the 2027 class: running back Bryian Duncan Jr., offensive linemen Matthias Burrell and Brady Hull, linebacker Ty Ashley and defensive back Larron Westmoreland. Three members (Ashley, Hull and Westmoreland) of the committed quintet are in-state recruits, which tracks with Stein's vision for the program — he wants to build from within, leaning on the Bluegrass State.
Kentucky's class is No. 29 nationally in the 247Sports Composite rankings, as of April 4. The haul sits eighth in the 16-team SEC.
Here's a look at the Wildcats' 2027 recruiting class so far:
