Stockbridge (Ga.) Woodland defensive back Yusuf Corker committed to Kentucky on Monday, bolstering the future of the Cats' secondary.


Corker, a 6-foot, 173-pound corner, also had offers from many other Power Five programs.

He had narrowed his list of finalists to Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina and Michigan State.

Corker visited Kentucky over the weekend of December 9th. That was the first time he had visited UK, although he is the cousin of former Wildcat running back Raymond Sanders and had been hearing from Mark Stoops' staff for the better part of two years.

Corker is ranked the No. 50 cornerback in the nation and the No. 48 player in Georgia according to Rivals.com.

Prior to Corker's decision Kentucky had already landed commitments from defensive backs Michael Nesbitt, Cedrick Dort, Tyrell Ajian and, most recently, junior college prospect Lonnie Johnson.
