Blinn (Texas) Junior College defensive back Shyquawn Pullium has committed to UK, Justin Rowland of Rivals reports.

Pullium confirmed his commitment via his Twitter account, @ShyquawnP.

Pullium originally planned to attend Penn State in 2010 as a three-star prospect, but academic issues forced him to attend Kiski School (Pa.) for a year and Blinn for the last two years.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound defensive back from Erie, Pa. played four games in 2012, recording 12 tackles.

Pullium is the 10th commitment in the Class of 2014 for the Cats, and is the first commitment in the class from a junior college.
