What kind of player is Kentucky getting in Michigan State transfer linebacker Luke Fulton? He was a highly-touted four-star recruit out of Youngstown, Ohio, who expected to be a marquee player at Michigan State. He redshirted in 2019 and was expected to compete for a starting spot in 2020 before an off-field issue made him miss preseason workouts. He never returned to the team and now is headed to Kentucky.
Receiver Tre’Von Morgan is also transferring to UK from Michigan State. Like Fulton, he was a four-star recruit out of Ohio.
“We were in the same recruiting class. I already knew of him when we got to Michigan State and then we obviously talked more,” Morgan said. “We got close at school. Once I decided to transfer and UK was one of my schools, I told him to put in a good word for me because he was already committed. It never hurts to have somebody put in a good word, so he talked to them.”
Morgan is glad he’s going to have Fulton as a teammate again.
“He is a baller. He is strong as an ox,” Morgan said. “He can run and cover a lot of ground. I am pretty sure Luke was four-star and had a lot of places he could have gone.
“He is a player. That’s the best way to put it. He is a tremendous athlete and player. Kentucky fans are going to love the way he plays.”
