All's fair in love, war and the Kentucky-Louisville rivalry. On Tuesday night, three-star Class of 2018 safety Akeem Hayes made the rare move of flipping from Louisville to Kentucky.

He announced his commitment to the Cats on Twitter.

Hayes' commitment message: "First off, I would like to thank God for giving me the talent to play this game at the next level; without him this would have never been possible. I would also like to thank the Louisville coaching staff for the relationship we have built in the last couple months. I also want to say that I love the relationship the Kentucky coaching staff and I have built in these last couple months of my recruiting process, but after talking it over with m y family I've decided to flip my commitment to the University of Kentucky."
