Class of 2026 CB Sean Johnson believes Kentucky offer was a ‘blessing’
Kentucky continues to offer players in the Class of 2026, and that is what they did on Wednesday, May 8, as Brad White offered cornerback Sean Johnson.
Johnson is from Severn, MD, and he comes in at 6-foot-1 and weighs 175 pounds, according to 247Sports. The corner recently spoke to A Sea of Blue after he got offered and what that means to him.
“Getting an offer from Kentucky is a blessing honestly, it doesn’t get better than the SEC,” Johnson says. “Coach (Brad) White the defensive coordinator offered me and we talked about my film and how Kentucky is a top 25 team and that he would like to get me down there for a visit.
After receiving the offer from Kentucky, he hopes he can continue to grow a relationship with the coaching staff, especially White and defensive backs coach Chris Collins.
“I would love to build a relationship with the whole coaching staff, especially with coach Collins and coach White,” Johnson tells A Sea of Blue.
Johnson could certainly see himself playing in the blue and white.
“I could most definitely see myself playing for Kentucky, based off that they are in the SEC and they are a top 25 team and most importantly based off how many defensive backs they have got to the league,” Johnson says.
Speaking of the success Kentucky has had on the defensive side, the program has been able to get many different defensive backs drafted in the NFL recently such as Lonnie Johnson Jr., Kelvin Joseph, Brandin Echols, Carrington Valentine, and others.
Johnson has taken notice of that success.
“I look at Kentucky’s former defensive backs and manifest that I could be one of them one day, I like that they know what they are doing with the cornerbacks cause that’s my position and hopefully one day my dream is to get to the NFL,” Johnson says.
It is still early on in his recruiting process, but he tells A Sea of Blue that he wants to take a visit to Kentucky. He has already visited Maryland, Penn State, Virginia, NC State, and West Virginia.

Northern Kentucky claims 4 titles at Class 3A indoor track state meet
The Kentucky High School Athletic Association indoor state track meet rolled on on Wednesday, March 4. One day after Beechwood claimed the Class 1A boys team title, three Northern Kentucky big schools combined for four individual state titles in Class 3A.
Cooper’s Paul Van Laningham won the 3,200-meter run in 9:09.49 and took second place in the 1,600-meter run in 4:07.88. It was a reversal of his results at the 2025 indoor state meet and earned him his fifth overall state title. He scored all of Cooper’s points, good for ninth place in the team standings with 18 points.
Van Laningham’s teammate, Ava Dunn, got the day started with a shot put title, throwing the 8.82-pound ball 39 feet, 3.25 inches.
Simon Kenton’s Alexis Howard won the long jump with an attempt of 18 feet, 7.25 inches, then claimed the triple jump title with a distance of 37 feet, 4.25 inches. It is her second straight indoor long jump title and third overall as she also claimed the 2024 outdoor title. Taking fifth place in the 55-meter dash, she scored all 24 points for SK, finishing in a tie for eighth place. Cooper was right behind with 22 points.
Finally, Conner’s Avery Vanlandingham win the 800-meter run in 2:17.55, out-leaning North Oldham’s Millie Huang at the line.

Hardley Gilmore returns to Kentucky Football
A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.
After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.
When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.
With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.
