Ty Johnson took a multi-day unofficial visit to Kentucky right after the spring game. That allowed the Wildcats to enter this final mix with Big Ten and Big 12 programs on the West Coast. Johnson is scheduled to return to UK for an official visit in June. UCLA (May 15-17) and Arizona also have official visits scheduled.

Wide receiver Iveon Lewis is scheduled to announce his college decision on Saturday. Kentucky is currently considered the favorite. Ty Johnson will be a prospect to watch over the next couple of months.
