There is a monster of a defensive lineman growing up about an hour and a half down the road in Louisville, and Kentucky is doing everything it can to keep him home.
Kellan Hall, a 2028 defensive lineman out of Christian Academy of Louisville, is one of the most talented young players in the entire country. 247 Sports has him as the No. 1 defensive lineman in the nation and a top-10 overall prospect in his class. Rivals actually lists him second overall in the class of 2028.
At a listed 6-foot-4 and right around 275 pounds, with the frame to keep growing well past 300, he is exactly the kind of trench player programs build their defenses around.
Recently, Hall trimmed his list to 12 schools, and the Cats made the cut. Kentucky is in there alongside Oklahoma, Ohio State, Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon and Tennessee. That is about as loaded a group of blue bloods as you will find anywhere, and Big Blue is standing right in the thick of it.
It's also worth noting that Louisville, right in his own backyard, is nowhere to be found on his list.
