Kentucky received some big news on Sunday when defensive tackle target Garrett Witherington picked the Cats over Mississippi State, Stanford, Penn State, Georgia Tech, and others. But another defensive tackle came of the board just one day after that.
Defensive line prospect Walt Frazier ended his recruitment with a commitment to Syracuse on Monday.
Walt Frazier is currently an unranked prospect from Philadelphia. The defensive tackle took official visits to UConn, Kentucky, and Syracuse. The Orange ultimately won out in this recruiting battle. Former Georgia assistant coach Fran Brown is entering year two in Central New York and currently has 24 commits in his first full signing class as a head coach.
Kentucky currently has 13 commitments in the 2026 high school class after the addition of Witherington.
