To say people in Owensboro were stoked when hometown hero Gavin Wimsatt announced this past spring he would be transferring from Rutgers to Kentucky would be an epic understatement.
“I got so many texts,” a smiling Wimsatt says. “It’s probably the most I’ve been texted, ever, on one day. I couldn’t even tell you how many. Probably the majority of everyone (in Owensboro) is Kentucky fans.”
Of every football player who will wear UK blue and white in 2024, no one may have a more interesting recruiting back story than Wimsatt’s.
