Adam Guthrie is one of the nation’s best offensive linemen in the country — and Kentucky is firmly in the mix to land his talents.

Ranked by On3 as the No. 37 overall prospect from the 2026 class, Guthrie received a visit from a pair of Wildcat coaches on Monday: associate head coach Vince Marrow and offensive line coach Eric Wolford. The four-star offensive tackle out of Washington Court House (OH) Miami Trace has been recruited by Kentucky since he was extended a scholarship offer all the way back in Oct. 2023.

Guthrie, who doubles as a basketball player, clocks in at 6-foot-7, 300 pounds. He is considered the seventh-best offensive lineman in his cycle.

Guthrie is already up to 40-plus Division I offers, but Kentucky was actually the third school to reach out with a scholarship. He visited Lexington back in September when the Wildcats hosted top-ranked Georgia in a tight 13-12 loss. His stock began to blow up from there. Guthrie earned offers from the likes of Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia, Ole Miss, Michigan, and many more during his fall high school season. The Buckeyes and Tigers are schools to monitor.

While visiting Guthrie, Marrow also offered one of his high school teammates. 2027 running back Julian Baker announced a scholarship from the ‘Cats, his seventh from a DI school.

The winner and runner-up from Saturday’s Grade 3 Lecomte joined the top 10 in the points standings for Kentucky Derby 2025.

Disco Time brought his record to 3-for-3 with his win by a neck over Built over the muddy Fair Grounds track to earn 20 points and move into third place. Built, who already had earned 10 points for his win in the Gun Runner, picked up another 10 to move into fourth place.

The third-, fourth- and fifth-place finishers got their first qualifying points. Innovator earned 6 points, good for 18th place. Golden Afternoon is in 28th place with 4 points, and Maximus Promise earned 2 points, putting him at no. 44.

One points prep is on the calendar for this weekend. The Southwest (G3) at Oaklawn drew a field of 10, with Gaming, fifth on the leaderboard, drawing the rail.

The following weekend brings four preps, the Holy Bull (G3) at Gulfstream, the Robert B. Lewis (G3) at Santa Anita and the Withers (G3) at Aqueduct. All three, along with the Southwest, offer 20-10-6-4-2 points to the top five finishers.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) – Kentucky’s general assembly is currently on a break after convening for four days to start 2025 legislative session.

However, hundreds of bills were filed in those four days.

“I feel like too many young people are committing act of violence with guns and we need to get it under control,” said Rep. Kim Banta (R-Ft. Mitchell).

Republican Rep. Banta said House Bill 55 does not just apply to guns.

“My party asked me they said, ‘look why pick on guns, why not any weapon?’,” she said. “And so, I changed it and so if you buy your child a machete and they choose to put it in their backpack and go to school and harm people, you’re going to be held accountable for it.”

The bill would make parents or guardians civilly liable for injury caused by a destructive device, explosive, firearm or other deadly weapon. The bill would apply to legal guardians who allow the minor to have the device, know that the minor has a delinquent history or knows that the intended use is to commit a crime.

“Anything that we can do that may deter a horrific crime would be something I’m all about,” said Rep. Tina Bojanowski (D-Louisville).

Democratic Rep. Bojanowski said she is cosponsoring House Bill 55 because as a teacher, she said it is important for parents or legal guardians to have a pulse on their child.

“You know maybe yeah your son really enjoys hunting and you gave them this knife, but you may want to think twice if he’s been accused and found guilty of a crime already,” said Rep. Bojanowski.

As the session continues, Rep. Banta said she hopes to convey that the bill is not about taking away guns or imposing restrictions.

Kentucky’s House of Representatives and Senate will meet for part II of the 2025 legislative session on Feb. 4.
