Kentucky's coaching staff has been intent on strengthening its running back room in advance of the 2025 season, and to that end they accepted a commitment from New Mexico State's Seth McGowan on Sunday.

Cats Illustrated profiled McGowan this weekend, noting that he averaged 3.75 yards after contact with 32.8% of his rushing attempts going for 15 yards or more last year.

He has shown big play ability, logged double-digit carries in almost all of NMSU's games last year, and is a proven pass catcher dating back to his true freshman season at Oklahoma in 2020.

After a promising true freshman season with the Sooners, McGowan faced legal charges that were eventually reduced to larceny of a person at nighttime, and he received a year of probation.

For the Aggies this year, the 6'1, 220-pound McGowan had 152 carries for 823 yards and three touchdowns with three additional scores as a pass catcher.

Jamarion Wilcox, Dante Dowdell, and Jason Patterson also figure to factor heavily into Kentucky's running back situation.
