Offensive line coach Eric Wolford is leading the charge for the Wildcats and got Da’Ron Parks on campus for an official visit in June. Parks also made stops at Auburn, Florida State, and Ohio State. The Buckeyes got the final visit.
Da’Ron Parks is the No. 438 overall recruit in the 2026 Rivals Industry Ranking. The 6-foot-4 and 360-pound prospect is a top-75 player in Florida. The Cats are looking to add Parks to the class a month after three-star guard Tyreek Jemison jumped in the boat.
Kentucky currently has two offensive line player committed in the 2026 cycle.
