Kentucky lands 2025 pledge from blue-chip Ohio wide receiver
Kentucky has landed a commitment from Cincinnati (Ohio) Withrow wide receiver Quintin Simmons Jr.
The 6-foot, 175-pound pass-catcher revealed his verbal pledge to UK on Monday. He had a final six that also included Michigan, Penn State, Cincinnati, West Virginia, and Syracuse. But, even despite the recent departure of offensive coordinator Liam Coen, the Wildcats were still able to win out for Simmons.
Cornerback Terhyon Nichols, a 2024 signee, is a teammate of Simmons’.
