The 6-4, 215-pound receiver committed to the Kentucky over the likes of North Carolina State, FAU, Syracuse, Illinois, and West Virginia. Gaskin hails from Delray Beach (FL) and plays at Atlantic High School. Kentucky offered him back in January right before Mark Stoops and co. finished off the 2017 class.
Gaskin is ranked 772nd overall by 247 Sports in addition to being the 124th-best receiver. He has a three-star rating at Rivals.com, 247 and Scout.com, while ESPN has not yet given him a grade.
With this pledge, Kentucky now has six commitments in the 2018 class, including quarterback Jarren Williams, tight end Brenden Bates, defensive lineman Alex Reigelsperger, receiver Marvin Alexander and defensive lineman Davoan Hawkins.
