4-Star Linebacker Grant Godfrey Commits to Kentucky Wildcats Over Tennessee Vols
The Kentucky Wildcats have secured a major win on the recruiting trail as four-star linebacker Grant Godfrey announced his commitment to the program. Godfrey chose the Wildcats over several top programs, including a strong push from the Tennessee Volunteers, highlighting the increasing appeal of Kentucky football under head coach Mark Stoops.
Godfrey, a 6’3″, 215-pound linebacker from Suwanee, Georgia, is rated as one of the top defensive prospects in the class. Known for his versatility, physicality, and high football IQ, Godfrey brings elite athleticism and a relentless motor to the field. His ability to cover ground quickly and make plays both in the backfield and in coverage makes him a prized addition to Kentucky’s defense.
In his announcement, Godfrey praised Kentucky’s coaching staff and the program’s culture. “I felt like it was the best fit for me, both on and off the field,” Godfrey said. “The coaching staff really made me feel like part of the family, and I believe in the vision they have for the program.”
This commitment is a significant win for Kentucky as they continue to solidify their standing in the SEC. The Wildcats have been building momentum in recent seasons, and landing a talent like Godfrey reinforces their ability to compete with traditional powerhouses like Tennessee in recruiting battles.
Godfrey’s decision is expected to energize the Wildcats’ fan base as they look ahead to a bright future with this exciting addition to their defense.
