Tuesday Headlines: Hardley Gilmore Edition

A top 50 wide receiver in the class of 2024 included Kentucky as one of his three finalists.

Hardley Gilmore, a four-star wide receiver out of Pahokee, Florida, is set to make an announcement on Aug. 25 with Kentucky joining Penn State and Central Florida as finalists.

Landing Gilmore would be a big recruiting win for Kentucky, as Gilmore is ranked in the top 300 nationally by 247 Sports Composite rankings as well as the #45 wide receiver nationally.

Gilmore reportedly has a strong relationship with UK quarterback commitment Cutter Boley, and both reclassified from the Class of 2025 to the Class of 2024.

The 6’1 wideout is viewed as a Kentucky lean, but with the announcement a month out, the Kentucky coaches will almost certainly zero in on Gilmore to try to land the commitment. It would certainly be a big boost for Kentucky’s wide receiver group if the UK staff can seal the deal.
