Four-star athlete Russ Yeast decommits from Kentucky

Bad times for Kentucky.

Once a Top 10 recruiting class according to 247Sports, the Kentucky Wildcats have had quite the tough time recently holding on to commits. Just a week ago, they lost their prized recruit of this class, as four-star quarterback Mac Jones flipped to Alabama.

On Thursday, Kentucky lost another four-star recruit, as athlete Russ Yeast (5-foot-11, 178 pounds, Greenwood, IN) announced that he had decommitted from the program.

According to Scout.com, Yeast is the sixth recruit that the Wildcats have lost just this spring. What was once a highly touted class is now turning into a disaster.

Yeast currently holds offers from Iowa, Maryland, and Ole Miss, among others. He is listed as prominently playing corner, but he also plays wideout for his high school.
