Thaddeus Snodgrass is a Cat!
You know how I know a player loves Kentucky? He announces his commitment on Kentucky Sports Radio. This morning, Thaddeus Snodgrass pledged his allegiance to Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats in very fitting fashion. The four-star wide receiver chose the Cats over West Virginia, Louisville, and South Carolina, his favorites from a list that also included Michigan State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, and Wisconsin. He’s the second commitment of the 2014 class, and he’ll join his friend, 3-star lineback Dorian Hendrix.
Let’s get to know the newest Cat with the best name in football:
Wide Receiver
6’1”, 184 lbs.
Springfield, OH
40 time: 4.44 secs
Rivals: #24 Wide Receiver, #198 Overall
24/7: #31 Wide Receiver, #12 player in Ohio
Scout: #30 Wide Receiver
Twitter: @ThadSnod1
Received an offer from UK on February 11th and attended UK’s Junior Day on February 23rd
Snodgrass has the size and speed to compete in the SEC, with a 4.4 40 and a burst of quickness off the line. He also runs track, and according to his coach Eric Gillespie, ran a 4.3 40 at Ohio State’s camp in front of Urban Meyer and got an offer on the spot. Why did he choose Kentucky? He likes Neal Brown’s offense, the opportunity to play early in the SEC, and the close proximity to his home in Springfield, Ohio. Vince Marrow has been the head guy in his recruitment, and so far, he’s proven to be pretty convincing.
Fun fact: He’s become good friends with Drew Barker, who will also attend UK’s Spring Game tomorrow and may commit. Future Couch-to-Yeast combo?

Booger Weed!!!!
ONIONS!!
Wow and polite!
Great get for the Cats. Exciting times for big BBN. Welcome aboard Thaddeus. GBB!!!
I’ll get excited when he signs.
Really excited about the 2014 class. Lots of work to do still, but football is going to be exciting again in the Bluegrass!
So is this his final commitment or is his next commitment final? Denzel wants to know.
Thaddeus!! STOOOOOOOPS!
Yessir!
Best 1 minute of ksr ever. Seriously…ever!
Great name from a great town at a much needed position on the field. I like it!
I’ll take stock when the Ink dries on the National Letter….
Football commitments change all the time. I agree with what some people are saying that I will wait to get pumped till he actually signs. We saw what already happened with Ware.
Getting commitments from kids being recruited by the big name football schools is such a huge improvement over the last coaching staff’s recruiting ability that it is easy to get carried away with the positive energy around the program right now tho.
Waiting to see when we get a comment from someone complaining that he’s only a 3-star according to some rankings….it always happens.
YESSS
Vince Marrow is a stud. Seems like he’s our best recruiter.
Great looking commitment! Has he asked Miss Kentucky to prom yet?
whose the QB throwin to him? he looks legit.
I’ve never been excited about kentucky football!
Don’t get your hopes up Big Blue Nation he hasn’t signed meaning after a 2 win season he will probably back out and go to a real school. Stoops Troops?? LMAO.
wish it was wiggins
20) LOL. A Big ten fan on KSR? Wow! I know the Big Ten is boring, but c’mon man get a life. I sometimes wish UK could play football in that joke of a conference, but then I remember how awful their conference is.
Huge get and welcome to BBN. Snodgrass has All-American potential playing in Neal Brown’s system. He will absolutely torch SEC defenses.
Yawn. Football recruiting = watching paint dry….except that Matt doesn’t shill for the people that paint. Call us when they start playing games.
LIL CUZ TURN UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Wow theres so many negative people on this site. I was expecting to see a bunch of comments welcoming Thaddeus to BBN but I guess the comment section is for unhappy people to vent the disappoint from their personal lives. Anyway welcome to BBN Thaddeus we really really appreciate you choosing to play for UK. Its gunna be alot of fun.
Great get for football program. Really going to be good player for UK.Welcome aboard Thaddeus .
#26 – that’s the trolls. Most likely UL fans. They do this all the time. Anyway, I’m thrilled that he is going to be part of the BBN! This is huge!!
Yes 28, so was Denzel Ware’s big announcement as I recall.
Signed UK Bball fan and UK FB negative Nancy troll
The Wizard concocts another spell…. Providing Stoops with weapons. Marrow Mania, Baby!
If Stoops wants to be successful he should really keep hitting Ohio hard. There are so many good players that get overlooked by O$U. It is too close to Kentucky and one of the best recruiting states. If he can continually snag some of the talent there it will really bode well for him. He is off to a great start!
Come on down!
