Wood discusses his UK commitment

Walker Wood (#9) eludes Henry Clay defenders




Walker Wood decided to join Kentucky’s 2017 recruiting class late last week.  In doing so, he joined fellow quarterback Mac Jones in the class. The 2017 duo will be competing with current redshirt freshman Drew Barker and 2016 incoming freshman Gunnar Hoak.

But Wood isn’t worried about the competition.  He knows that playing quarterback is a big responsibility and programs want the right person in place to lead their offense.

“Anywhere you go there is going to be competition,” said Wood.  “I love it. And I’m excited to compete.”

Wood jumped on board Kentucky’s class last week because he just felt good about the direction on the program and what his hometown school had to offer.

“I love Coach Stoops and his staff.  I think Kentucky is on a very bright road.  I want to be a part of it,” he finished.

Right now Wood is a part of a very talented and potent Lexington (KY.) Lafayette offense.  Lafayette averages almost 41 points per game.  Through eight games Wood has accounted for 22 total touchdowns and over 2000 yards of total offense from the quarterback spot.
