Breaking: As previously stated in the pregame news conference, the Kentucky Wildcats have completed the addition of NCAA top talent to the team. There are two outstanding players who are scheduled to leave as free agents.

Stinyard was very surprised when he got an offer from Kentucky but also is well away of the reputation in Lexington

The Kentucky Wildcats are still offering players for the class of 2025, although sometimes it may be too late to join as other teams have been recruiting players for years.

In other cases, players could be rising at the right time for teams to take notice.

That is what is happening with Serious Stinyard. Heading into his senior season, many teams are starting to take interest in Stinyard, a 6-foot, 180-pound cornerback from Tampa, Florida.

Stinyard didn’t receive his first offer until February of this year when USF offered him. Since then, his recruitment has been gaining traction.

Kentucky just offered him on Saturday, May 4th, and Stinyard was not expecting it at all.

“It felt great,” Stinyard tells A Sea of Blue. “UK was a big and pleasant surprise.”

As for who Stinyard has been talking to on the coaching staff, it has been defensive backs coach Chris Collins, and they are setting up for him to take an official visit on campus from the 21st through the 23rd of this month.

Stinyard has seen many players be successful at cornerback for Kentucky and go to the NFL, including Brandin Echols, Carrington Valentine, Kelvin Joseph, and others. The success could be a huge factor for Stinyard.

“Yes, player development and getting guys on to the next level is one of my main focuses on choosing my future home,” Stinyard says.

At this point in Stinyard’s recruitment, he is still scheduling official visits with the hope of announcing his commitment in late July or August. What he is looking for when he commits will not just be playing on the field but the school itself.

“I’m looking for a few things, being at a stable coaching community, meaning coaches that are going to be there for 3+ years, a good degree, and a school that wants me and needs me in their scheme,” said Stinyard.

Even though he is considering all options, he could see himself playing in the blue and white next.

“How could I not see myself playing in that blue and white?!” said Stinyard.
