Kentucky Football | Wandale Robinson commits in 2019

"I have been in the air in recent days," said Robinson shortly after announcing his engagement with a video for comrades at a ceremony in Western Hills. "Really, I sat down with myself and really thought about everything and where I wanted to be, obviously decided Kentucky."

As a four-star prospect and US member of the US Army, Robinson is ranked No. 4 in the all-round category in the 2019 class by the 247Sports Composite, which averages the odds of major recruiting services.

Robinson, who was considered Kentucky's leading offensive recruiting target in the 2019 round, is expected to play a similar role to Lynn Bowden, the broad-based recipient currently in college, possibly luring himself with the spoils. , receiver of slot machines and turner.

Bowden's victory in Kentucky's victory over Missouri on Saturday (13 catches for 166 yards and a return of 67 yards for a touchdown) likely eased some concerns that the Wildcats offensive would was not equipped to present a catcher like Robinson. Nebraska had been considered the favorite of his recruiting until this week and Robinson confirmed that the Cornhuskers were second in Kentucky.

"They have an upward trend and obviously use Lynn," he said. "I have the impression that on the other side, it will obviously pose problems for the defense. It will be a really good combo with both of us. It is obvious that Terry throws the ball and that he has the opportunity to run. "

Kentucky's heavy offensive was an argument that had worked well against Kentucky a year ago when Trinity's winner, Rondale Moore, chose Purdue against the Wildcats and others, while Stoops and his company were the first staff member of Power Five to offer him a scholarship.

"Everyone will do what it takes to win a football match," Kentucky coach Mark Stoops recently said in response to concerns over the heavy race attack that injured the United Kingdom with talented recruits. "Sometimes we see people throwing the ball 70 times and they must also recruit a half-offensive. So you have to do what you need to do in certain situations. … I think most recruits understand this.

Kentucky has not signed a single potential candidate in its class in 2018 for the first time since records are available, but it has already won four entries in Kentucky high schools in a 2019 category for the first time. ;State.

Robinson joins Doss's defensive end, Shawnkel Knight-Goff, receiver Demontae Crumes and West Jessamine's offensive lineman Eli Cox as an engagement in the class. The United Kingdom continues to recruit Milton Wright, a receiver at the Christian Academy-wide Christian Academy, and potential four-star candidates, as well as JJ Weaver, a linebacker for Moore's defense.

This commitment represents a strong comeback for the United Kingdom, which has scored victories in recruiting against the extra-state powers of Kentucky high school stars Drake Jackson, Kash Daniel, Landon Young and Davonte Robinson in the 2016 category. This group, only Young, a five-star rookie who was sidelined by a knee injury during the pre-season, has not been a significant contributor to the Wildcats 7-1 this season.

Robinson praised Kentucky's success on the field for turning heads of recruits into the state, but also pointed out that staff had explained how the program could prepare players for life after football had an impact.

"Really, if you do what you're supposed to do, it's kind of like football, you will not want anything if you stay in Kentucky and want to live your life here," he said. .

Robinson, who heads the state in a spin and ranks seventh out of eight potential high school promotion four-star candidates in Kentucky in 2019, is the only four-star British stint out of the 247 awarded to Composite.
