Kentucky Football has added a defensive back from Georgia.
Jay Ward, a 3-star cornerback from Moultrie, Georgia, just announced his commitment to the Wildcats football program on his Twitter account.
”First of all, I would like to give glory to God for blessing me with the opportunity and abilities to play the game of football. I would also like to thank my parents, Coach Polite and my teammates for all the support. I would also like to thank the schools who believed in me. After much consideration, I’ll be furthering my education at the University of Kentucky,” he wrote in a Twitter post.
