Kentucky receives surprise commitment from 2025 OT Jason Ekperuoh
It looked like Kentucky was done recruiting high school seniors for this cycle, but a surprise addition to the incoming freshman class announced his commitment on Friday.
Offensive tackle Jason Ekperuoh posted to social media he has committed to the Kentucky Wildcats. A 6-foot-6, 335-pound product of The Webb School (TN), Ekperuoh officially visited UK over the summer after receiving an offer in May from offensive line coach Eric Wolford, who went to visit him earlier this week.
Ekperuoh is not currently ranked by any of the major recruiting outlets. He also held offers from Maine and Tennessee Tech and was receiving interest from Vanderbilt and Eastern Kentucky before choosing UK.
