Just over a month ago, DaKaari Nelson released a list of his top 11 schools that did not include Kentucky. On Monday afternoon, the Wildcats snuck their way into his top six.
Nelson is a 6-foot-3, 195-pound class of 2023 safety out of Selma, AL. He’s considered a four-star prospect by the On3 Consensus, which tabs him as the No. 249 overall recruit, the No. 21 overall safety, and the No. 19 overall prospect out of Alabama. Kentucky helps make up a top-six that includes some of college football’s heavyweights: Clemson, Penn State, Oregon, Tennessee, and Auburn, which all made his previous top 11.
