Four stand out to cornerback Perkins

Kentucky may be on the lookout for one more cornerback to add to its current recruiting class and there's a cornerback in Florida that's very open to the Wildcats' pitch.

Havana (Fla.) East Gadsden cornerback JaJuan Perkins claims offers from Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Ole Miss and USF, and his current list of favorites includes four of those programs.

"Ole Miss, Kentucky, USF and Louisville," Perkins said this week, listing the four schools that are standing out.

He clarified that the list isn't in any particular order and he doesn't seem close to making a decision. The 5-foot-9, 173-pound corner, a three-star prospect, also said that Ole Miss, UK, USF and Old Dominion are the schools that have been recruiting him the hardest so far.

However, it's been a little while since he has had direct contact with Kentucky.

While Kentucky has pulled in commitments from a number of states since Mark Stoops assumed control of the program last year, Perkins has noticed some of the Florida talent heading to Lexington.

"Lots of the commits there are from around my area so it would be like family there," Perkins said of UK. "Plus I like coach Stoops."

Perkins' name hasn't been in headlines for a few months but much earlier this year, just after Signing Day for the previous class, he said Ole Miss was his favorite.

The three-star prospect has been clocked at 4.45 seconds in the 40-yard dash and has a registered vertical of 34-inches.
