Kentucky to Host Arkansas WR Ja'Kayden Ferguson for a Visit

Arkansas wide receiver Ja’Kayden Ferguson is planning to visit Kentucky on Saturday, Jan. 10, he tells KSR+. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he already has some Kentucky ties.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound wide receiver originally committed to Kentucky out of high school in the 2025 recruiting class. He decommitted in November of 2024 after Kentucky wide receiver coach Daikiel Shorts left for Nebraska. Ferguson tells KSR+ he has not planned any other visits yet.

Ferguson went on to commit to Arkansas in the 2025 class. During the 2025 season, Ferguson played in six games without recording a statistic. He saw action in games against Tennessee (Oct. 11), Notre Dame (Sept. 27), Memphis (Sept. 20), Arkansas State (Sept. 6), and Alabama A&M (Aug. 30).
