The Kentucky Wildcats have landed a big commitment for their 2025 class.

On Wednesday night, 4-star tight end Mikkel Skinner officially committed to the Wildcats. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound TE stars for Riverside High School in Greer, SC and was previously committed to Cincinnati.

Here’s video of his announcement:

Skinner is rated as the No. 20 TE in the country and the No. 8 prospect out of South Carolina according to the 247Sports Composite ranking.

The talented prospect is a multi-sport athlete who also stars in basketball and runs track.
