Kentucky will hit the state of Ohio hard in the next recruiting cycle and Paul Moses is emerging as a name worth keeping an eye on.

Cats Illustrated learned last week that Moses was hearing from the Wildcats. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound running back from Toledo (Ohio) Central Catholic could conceivably get a look at linebacker.

Nebraska and Akron have already offered Moses and his connection to the Cornhuskers is now more of a connection to Kentucky.

"Coach (Vince) Marrow had offered me from Nebraska and then he went to Kentucky so I'll be talking to him," Moses said. "I wouldn't say we're really tight yet but we are close. He hasn't told me too much about Kentucky yet but I've just got to call him and that will happen.

"I still have to learn about them but that's a school I'll be looking at."

That's good news for Kentucky as Moses is likely one of the top prospects in Ohio.

The state might not have as much top-end talent as it has in some previous cycles, but those on the ground close to the prep scene have indicated there are a lot of three and four-star types in the Buckeye State.

Moses probably fits that mold.

While Moses will give Kentucky a look, and he may attend UK's junior day this weekend, he claims a Big Ten school has his attention.

"I'm liking Michigan State," he said. "They've kinda been talking to me."

Four-star quarterback DeShone Kizer also attends Central Catholic. Is there a chance the two players could end up at the same college together?

"People have been saying we both might go to Michigan State but you never know what will happen," Moses said. "Academics are going to be the biggest factor for me."
