Mark Stoops and company have gained another recruit from the state of Michigan.
In the whirlwind afternoon of football schedules being released, three-star cornerback Maxwell Hairston announced his commitment to the Cats.
Minutes before he was due to announce his decision, the West Bloomfield product shared a graphic on his Instagram story saying his recruitment had come down to Minnesota and Purdue. But it was all a rouse, as Hairston posted a video on Twitter saying he’d be joining the Wildcats.
Recruited by defensive backs coach Steve Clinksdale, Hairston is Kentucky’s second cornerback of the 2021 class. Fellow three-star recruit Adrian Huey, who committed to UK last month, was the first.
Hairston is the sixth defensive player committed for the Wildcats’ 2021 squad, and the 15th overall.
