Prospect Heights (Ill. ) Hersey four-star quarterback Jake Nawrot has committed to Kentucky , giving Will Stein his biggest recruiting win as head coach of the Wildcats. The rising passer was in Lexington last month and the new UK staff has been in hot pursuit.

That’s officially paid off as the No. 2 QB in the Rivals300 is locked in with the Wildcats. Kentucky beat out Iowa — where Nawrot is a legacy — as well as Oregon and Kansas State.

The Ducks were also near the top this spring, but the Midwest gunslinger is opting for the SEC. Stein, as well as vaunted offensive coordinator and QBs coach Joe Sloan played a huge role in Nawrot choosing the Cats. “I loved Coach Stein and Sloan’s offensive scheme and history of developing QBs,” Nawrot told Rivals.
