Kentucky gets commitment from Jordan Dingle, its last major in-state target
The state of Kentucky keeps on giving to the University of Kentucky football program.
Jordan Dingle, a tight end from Bowling Green High School, announced his commitment to the Wildcats during Kentucky Sports Radio’s Friday broadcast.
Dingle is rated as a three-star prospect by both 247Sports and Rivals, and each service ranks him as a top-25 tight end. He committed to Kentucky over Purdue, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech.
He is the latest in-state recruit to commit to the 2021 class, joining Jager Burton (Frederick Douglass), Dekel Crowdus (Frederick Douglass), Jordan Lovett (North Hardin), Kaiya Sheron (Somerset) and La’Vell Wright (North Hardin).
“I really love their coaching staff and how personable they are,” Dingle told KSR a few weeks ago. “I feel like they’ll bend over backwards for their players, so that’s one of the main attractors. Being in Kentucky, being in your home state, I feel like that’s going to be a big deal and would be a big deal.”
Dingle is the 18th player to commit as part of UK’s 2021 class, which now ranks 30th in 247Sports’ composite rankings and 11th among Southeastern Conference teams.
