One of Kentucky's top defensive line targets announced on Twitter this week that he'll be unofficially visiting Lexington.

M.J. Webb has visited Kentucky before and this weekend will mark the second time he's been on campus in Lexington.

Earlier this year it was widely believed that Kentucky was one of Webb's top choices.

As Kentucky's assistant coaching staff was overhauled Webb remained interested in Kentucky, at least to some extent. However, more recently Webb has been more linked to other schools compared to UK.

The latest announcement by Webb, that he'll visit once again, has to be taken as a sign that the Cats are still firmly in the mix.

Webb is from Madison (Ga.) Morgan County and holds offers from most schools in the SEC. He's ranked the No. 10 defensive tackle in the nation and the No. 196 prospect overall on the Rivals250.
