Kentucky makes top six for the son of former NFL star T.Y. Hilton /

In this story:

Kentucky Wildcats

Eugene Hilton Jr. is a three-star wide receiver from Zionsville, Indiana, who happens to be the son of former Indianapolis Colts star wide receiver T.Y. Hilton.

Hilton Jr. recently released his list of top six schools, which included Kentucky, Ole Miss, FIU, Miami, Missouri, and Wisconsin.

The Cats offered Hilton Jr. back in January, and he has not been on campus yet for a visit.

Hilton Jr. is a class of 2025 player, so he has plenty of time to get down to Lexington for an official visit.

247Sports has the six-foot-one 175-pound wideout ranked as the 393rd best player in the 2025 class.

When it comes to Hilton Jr.'s ability on the field, he is a quick and shifty, which helps him get open and make defensive backs miss.

I would not be surprised at all to see Hilton Jr. slide up the rankings to a four-star before all is said and done.

Hopefully, Coach Vince Marrow and Coach Stoops are able to get the son of an NFL legend to play his college football in Lexington for the Kentucky Wildcats.
