BREAKING: Four-star OL commits to Kentucky Louisville (Ky.) Christian Academy four-star offensive tackle John Young will play his college football at Kentucky. The state’s No. 4 recruit announced his pledge to Mark Stoops on Sunday evening following an official visit to Lexington. Ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the country’s No. 28 offensive tackle, the 6-foot-6, 280-pound Young also gave strong consideration to offers from Georgia, Ohio State, Auburn, Michigan, Purdue and Louisville among others. He is commit No. 2 for UK in the 2020 recruiting cycle. “I think what made it right for me was their track record with recruiting and developing in-state guys and recruiting and developing their guys,” Young told 247Sports. “They’ve taken guys that are lower-star players like Josh Allen and Benny Snell for example and really developed them into high-caliber picks. And what they’ve already done with in-state linemen like Drake Jackson and Landon Young who picked Kentucky over major offers and they’re multi-year starters getting SEC honors.” Young has helped lead Christian Academy to two-straight state championships. Other offers included Duke, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Missouri, Northwestern, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and West Virginia. “I went around, I visited every school in my top list, visited schools multiple times and talked to the coaches but every time I got back to Kentucky it felt like home,” Young said. “It continued to feel like home. When I was at the spring game two weeks ago it really felt like home and it’s time to start recruiting for that class. “Just the opportunity to play for my home state, I’m excited about it. I’m excited to being recruiting for this class and I feel we can have a Top20 or Top10 class when it’s all said and done with the all the in-state talent we’re going to continue recruiting and out of state guys as well.” Assistant coach Vince Marrow led the charge on the trail for Young who also built strong relationships with Stoops and offensive line coach John Schlarman. “Coach Stoops is such a players coach,” Young said. “Everyone I talked to on the team really likes him and his coaching style and he’s really turned that program around. Coach Marrow he’s been the main guy recruiting me. He’s come to see me at school, come to games and done everything for me in this process. He’s been great to talk to and he’s been big with the development of these guys off the field, and getting these guys ready for the next level. I’ve enjoyed communicating with him throughout this whole process.” A process that is now over for the touted Young. less
