KENTUCKY
The Kentucky Wildcats picked up a key player for their 2019 class on Monday evening, dipping into the JUCO ranks.
Former Tennessee commit Marquez Bembry, a 3-star JUCO linebacker, will head to Lexington starting next fall.
As you can see below, the current Jones County Junior College player announced his decision via Twitter:

Bembry was a 3-star linebacker coming out of high school, and now he becomes the seventh player in coach Mark Stoops’s 2019 class.
According to 247Sports, the Kentucky 2019 class is currently the No. 12 class in the SEC and the No. 50 class nationally.
Below, check out some of Bembry’s high school highlights, courtesy of Hudl:
I think this one is going to be the ‘game changer’.
Maybe ‘our version of Stoops’ can scrounge around and find some other junior college commits and fill the class with them.
Let’s hope his knee is completely healed and he can be the next all American at Lexington.
Ya, never know. Right?
Academic concerned kept him from enrolling at Tennessee.
Heck, he fits at Kentucky!
Ain’t we about as close to a junior college he could find in FBS football?
‘Bout time for Miracle Mitch to open the coffers and hand out pay raises to the head coaches. Right now it appears the Rifle coach is in for the big bucks. ‘Our version of Stoops’ already got a quarter million dollar bonus for what came down to beating Eastern Kentucky of the OVC and FCS fame. Heck, this year he’s got Murray State to depend on for that spot.
Ah, Kentucky football, something to fill the void till Midnight Madness. Nothing expected therefore no disappointments.
Thanks Mitch.
