Pyke on Cats' radar
Recently Cats Illustrated reported on junior offensive lineman Matthew Pyke from Clifton (Tenn.) Anderson County. He took an unofficial visit to Lexington for the Mississippi State game, and it appears he will be recruited over the next year.



Matthew Pyke took an unofficial visit to UK for the Mississippi State game.
Pyke left town without an offer but the coaches got to meet him face to face and more importantly the 6-foot-3, 297-pound guard passed along his film. What the coaches see could determine a lot about Pyke's standing with the Wildcats.

"I liked the trip a lot. I thought it was really nice," Pyke said after returning home to the Volunteer State.

"We didn't tour the campus but we got to go over and watch the Cat Walk. We were in Nutter for a while and I liked all of that a lot. I got to talk to coach (Mike) Summers and another recruiter and I gave them my highlight film and resume to one of their recruiters. Coach Summers said he couldn't come and see me until after the season but he said he was coming by my school."

The only negative for the day might have been that Pyke didn't really know anybody at the school going into it, so he spent much of his time on his own.

"It was really the one trip where I didn't find one recruit to really talk to but there were other guys there," he said.

Vol!

If he remains decently rated and has this type of size, I can't see Coach Jones not offering this kid. Coach has emphasized numerous times how he wants to "win the state". A local boy with UT passion, a lot of size, and a huge heart for the game and the program = a scholarship offer IMO. Keep working hard and i'm sure his offer will come.
