JUCO LB Ryan Flannigan commits to the Cats
Yahtzee! According to Justin Rowland, JUCO outside linebacker Ryan Flannigan has committed to Mark Stoops and the University of Kentucky. Flannigan attended Blinn Community College in Texas, where he was teammates with cornerback Shyquawn Pullium, who committed to the Cats on Sunday night. Flannigan was ranked a three-star out of high school, when he originally committed to Texas Tech. At the time, he was ranked the 60th best OLB in the nation.
He’s 6’1″, 220 lbs., and picked the Cats over Arizona State, Cincinnati, Houston, and Texas Tech. He’ll bring some much-needed depth to one of Kentucky’s weakest areas.
Welcome aboard, Ryan.
Here’s nine minutes of highlights from his high school career:

Hey, I don’t recall a time in recent memory there has been this much PR so to speak about every signee (it seems) that comes aboard a UK Football team. Granted, I understand why, stooops, etc… but I don’t know if it’s the talent level we are getting as much sometimes as it is the PR focus on every recruit we get or are looking at. I’m not complaining by all means, just an observation.
In fact, it seemed in recent years… KSR had the Blue/White coverage, who was fighting to be the starting QB, and then game 1 versus UL. I’m stretching it a bit but ya know what I mean. Regardless…good times for sure but wow, the media focus as opposed to years ago even before the Joker-era.
I think too a lot of this media attention is an atta-boy or atta-girl to the great writers we now have at KSR who wish to step outside of basketball. We are really reaching into the football side of the house more so. Great job!
