Among the commitments was Lakota West offensive lineman Kyle Meadows, who verbally committed to the University of Kentucky on Saturday, and Lakota East linebacker Jake Chestnut recently committed to play football at Notre Dame College near Cleveland.

Joining Meadows on his visit to UK on Saturday was junior running back Mikel Horton, who has an offer to play football in Lexington. Horton, who has received interest from Louisville, Penn State and Michigan State, also has an offer from Indiana.

Horton, who is 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds, rushed for 1,003 yards and 13 touchdowns on 202 carries this past fall.

His teammate, senior linebacker Mike Kelly also recently added an offer from the Naval Academy.

Kelly, who is 6 feet 1 and 220 pounds, has offers from all three service academies and Yale, Lafayette and other Ivy League schools.

Kelly, who was first-team all-GMC this past season, will officially visit West Point this weekend.
