POWELL, Tenn — Powell High School class of 2024 edge rusher Steven Soles has committed to Kentucky, he announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Soles received 17 offers, including Power 5 offers from Alabama, Virginia Tech and South Carolina among others. He said the Wildcats' message sealed the deal for him.
"I see myself as a part of that fit," Soles said. "They preached the versatility to me and not just having a stigma as a pass rusher."
The Powell standout helped the Panthers win the 2021 5A state championship and is rated as a three-star recruit by 247Sports. He is also listed as the 29th-best recruit in Tennessee and the 55th edge rusher in the 2024 recruiting class.
