DB Dyllon Williams Flips from Missouri to Kentucky
Score one for the Wildcats. For the second straight season, Kentucky has flipped an Alabama defensive back who was previously committed to Missouri.
On Monday night, Dyllon Williams revealed that he is committed to the Kentucky Wildcats. In addition to Missouri, Williams was pursued by Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Cincinnati. He decommitted from the Tigers last week.
A 6-foot-2 athlete from Demopolis, AL, Williams is a three-star safety in the 2024 recruiting class. According to the On3 Industry Ranking, he’s the No. 57 player at his position and No. 696 overall.
The Kentucky 2025 recruiting class, which is ranked just inside the Top 25 nationally, now has 19 commitments. The Cats have a pair of cornerbacks locked in and now two safeties. Williams joins Martels Carter, the Paducah Tilghman talent who’s the No. 15 safety in America and a Top-200 overall player.

How Kentucky Landed the Hard-Hitting Safety
Williams took two official visits over the summer. Shortly after spending time with Scott Satterfield and Eli Drinkwitz, he pledged his allegiance to Missouri. Kentucky’s Frank Buffano continued to recruit the playmaker and eventually convinced Williams to make the trip to Lexington for an official visit. Even though he watched Kentucky play poorly against South Carolina, that performance ultimately didn’t seem to matter.
If this feels like deja vu all over again, you’re not going crazy.
During the 2024 recruiting cycle, Cam Dooley committed to Missouri following a summer official visit. Buffano convinced the lengthy Alabama athlete to visit Lexington for a game. The Cats chipped away until he ultimately flipped to Kentucky on signing day. In a limited role, the true freshman has performed well, making a tackle in the opening week to stop a Southern Miss fake punt attempt.
If you enjoy watching safeties throw their bodies at opponents, you will love watching Dyllon Williams play football. The two interceptions he caught last fall feel like a sideshow to the tackling production. Like most high-major safety recruits, he has some versatility in his game, lining up at various spots for Demopolis High School. He’s at his best when he can tee off on opponents. It is a joy watching him knock the daylights out of a wide receiver.

June unemployment rate shows slight increase in Kentucky Center for Statistics latest report
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – Recent heavy rainfall has left soil across the state completely soaked, contributing to localized flooding in some areas.
When rain falls, some water soaks into the ground through a process called percolation.
Soil can only hold a limited amount of water. Once the small air spaces within the soil fill with water, the ground becomes saturated and additional rainfall has nowhere to go.
Soil type plays a role in how quickly water drains.
Much of Kentucky has clay-heavy soil, which is made up of very small, flat particles packed tightly together.
That composition makes it harder for water to move through. In clay soil, water may drain at a rate of only 0.02 to 0.17 inches per hour.
When rainfall comes down faster than the ground can absorb it and water cannot drain into a stream or storm drain quickly enough, it begins to build up.
That buildup is what leads to localized flooding.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) – Cyclosporiasis is a microscopic parasite that can contaminate food and water — is making people sick across several states, including Kentucky.
Dr. Patricia Tellez-Watson said, the illness is caused by Cyclospora cayetanensis and spreads when someone ingests contaminated food or water. “It is an intestinal infection caused by this water-borne, food-borne microscopic parasite,” she said.
Symptoms can include diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
Tellez-Watson said, cases are often sporadic, but outbreaks can happen — especially during hot, wet months, when the parasite can survive in the environment long enough to become infectious.
Health experts recommend taking extra precautions with food and water. Washing hands and thoroughly rinsing produce before eating or cooking can reduce risk.
Watson also urged people to be cautious with fresh produce, particularly pre-packaged items, and to consider using bottled water.
Officials have confirmed cases in Bowling Green, though it’s unclear how many.
