I’m glad UK decided to offer him. He’s one of those guys that’s gonna give them everything he has and can work his way on to the field.

I believe it's a preferred walk on spot. But that's fine with me. (as if my opinion mattered) If he was 6'2", he'd be offered by 40 or 50 schools. That's my honest opinion. Not just because he's a Boyle kid. He finds creases where they don't exist, he makes terrific cuts, he has great hands, he WORKS harder than most and the biggest thing about him is that if the coaching staff where ever he ends up asked him to do everything differently than he has in the past he would do it without question and encourage others to do it as well. TEAM players, picks up players who are struggling, helps the younger guys understand how they need to be working and he's a better person than he is a football player. There are players you want on the field playing for you and there's guys you want in your locker room....and he's both.
No, he's not a relative. LOL. I just really love the work ethic he has displayed while playing for the Rebels.

^Getting players like Lanter in the program as a preferred walk-on is another way they can take their program to the next level. As a diehard UK football fan I've been really hoping they would go after him pretty hard and try to convince him to turn down a scholarship offer from some other school and take the preferred walk-on route at UK because I love his film and definitely think he can contribute on the field by the time he's a junior and senior..and will probably earn that scholarship by then.

Of course UK offers the preferred walk on crap, always playing on in-state kids' loyalty. I'd tell them to stick it and go play somewhere that actually has the stones to give an offer. There have been situations a preferred walk on was done because the individual was receiving an academic scholarship, which is more understandable. If UK football were a perennial powerhouse this might be justified. If truly interested, show the in-state kids some respect and maybe UK wouldn't lose some of the others to the Alabamas of the world. Show some loyalty to receive it back .
WKU and Murray State does the same thing to local kids. I'm not sure about UofL, Morehead, and EKU.
By the sounds of it, the kid has impeccable characteristics. He's played in a winning atmosphere with a program that seems to do things right. These factors should be heavily weighed in what a player would bring to the college program. IMO it would offset the fact he isn't 6'2" as some have pointed out.
Anyway, good luck to this young man in whatever decision he makes.

Love seeing the Ky kids staying home!

Good choice by him, IMO. College, IMO, unless you're a can't miss NFL prospect should be where you'll be happy, and be able to concentrate on classes and not be bummed out or thinking, "what if". This kid will be a fan favorite if he eventually gets PT.
