In a surprising twist, Kentucky football is on track to flip 3-star wide receiver Cameron Miller from Wisconsin. This development came just moments after it was announced that Wildcats wide receiver coach Dakail Shorts Jr. is leaving for Nebraska, highlighting the unpredictable nature of college football recruiting.
Experts from 24/7 Sports and On3.com have already logged multiple predictions for Miller to join Kentucky, despite Shorts being his primary recruiter. If the move materializes, Miller will join the Wildcats under head coach Mark Stoops and offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan.
Earlier today, Miller officially decommitted from Wisconsin, posting a heartfelt note on X thanking the Badgers’ coaching staff but explaining his decision to reconsider his options.
The Wildcats’ recruiting efforts have faced recent challenges, including the loss of key recruits like Marquise Davis, a top 2025 running back, and offensive tackle Tucker Kattus. These setbacks dropped Kentucky’s recruiting class ranking from the top 25 to 30.
If Miller joins Kentucky, he could provide a much-needed boost to the Wildcats’ WR corps, which recently saw Barion Brown and Ja’Mori Maclin enter the transfer portal. With nearly a 4-star rating from 24/7 Sports, Miller’s commitment would help strengthen a unit that has faced significant losses, including the departure of its position coach.
