Another four-star recruit is off the board, and it looks like a non-tradition football power is the beneficiary.
On Monday evening, four-star and the nation's No. 4 offensive guard Marquan McCall (6-foot-4, 320 pounds, Oak Park, Mi.) announced that he was heading down south to the SEC by committing to the Kentucky Wildcats.

"I have committed to the University of Kentucky to continue my academic and athletic career," said McCall. "Big thanks to Coach Stoops & Clinkscale for believing in me and being honest at all times!"
McCall also had offers from Michigan State, Michigan, and Tennessee, among others.
McCall is Kentucky's seventh commitment for the 2018 class, and he is their highest-rated recruit so far. Per 247Sports, Kentucky's class currently ranks 25th in the nation.
