The Kentucky Wildcats coaching staff has had an impressive offseason, both in building the 2026 roster from the transfer portal, and in recruiting for 2027. The 2027 Kentucky class could get even better soon. They continue to work on the offensive line, and are in the running for Kaden Buchanan.

Buchanan is a 6’4″, 328 lb offensive lineman out of Tennessee who projects to be an interior lineman at the next level. He is currently rated four stars by 247Sports and is ranked as the No. 237 overall player in his class.

Offers came in from a number of top schools, but Buchanan has narrowed down his list to a final three, and Kentucky made the cut. The other two teams are Virginia Tech and North Carolina State. He has visited Lexington multiple times already, and is set to visit officially in June.

Coach Will Stein wants to build the offensive line, and Buchanan would certainly be a tremendous addition. No date has been set for a commitment yet, but we will update it once more information is available.

An 18-year-old accused of gunning down two Kentucky bank employees during a robbery was quickly tracked down when investigators linked him to his own Facebook posts.

Brailen Weaver was charged with armed bank robbery and firearms offenses causing death after the Thursday shooting at a US Bank branch in Berea, court records show.

Kentucky State Police later identified the victims as Breanna Edwards, 35, and Brian Switzer, 42.

A silver BMW seen on surveillance video became a key break in the case as investigators matched the vehicle to a car that Weaver had listed for sale on Facebook, according to an FBI affidavit filed Friday, the Associated Press reported.

The FBI also tied the suspect’s clothing to photos Weaver had posted online, and said he kept posting on social media after the deadly robbery.

Officials later spotted the BMW on Interstate 75 Thursday night, triggering a high-speed chase between Weaver and police.

The pursuit continued into Lexington, where speeds exceeded 130 mph before the car crashed and the suspect ran off on foot, the affidavit said.

The FBI affidavit detailing the case was written before the capture and does not mention an arrest.

But Kentucky State Police Officer Justin Kearney said in a social media post Friday that a “person of interest believed to be involved in yesterday’s Berea bank robbery has been apprehended.”

Weaver entered the bank just before 2 p.m. Thursday and “immediately shot and killed a male victim” before fatally shooting a teller, according to the affidavit.

He then checked multiple drawers and fled. Authorities have not said whether any money was taken.

“While there is no longer imminent danger, we understand that the tragedy is far from over for the community,” said Olivia Olson, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Louisville office.

“The only solace that we can offer is that this individual, who valued a stolen dollar more than two human lives, will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

Weaver could also face state charges tied to the killings.

US Bank said it was working with authorities and supporting victims’ families.

“We’re deeply saddened by the tragic event that took the lives of two of our employees at our Berea, Kentucky branch earlier today,” the company said.

“Our hearts go out to the families of the victims, our colleagues and the entire Berea community.”

Dannielynn Birkhead, the 19-year-old daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith, made a striking entrance at the 2026 Kentucky Derby, turning heads with a bold, goth-inspired look.

ANNA NICOLE SMITH’S DAUGHTER HAS ‘FULL-CIRCLE’ MOMENT WEARING HER LATE MOM’S DRESS AT KENTUCKY DERBY

On Friday, the pair attended the exclusive Barnstable Brown Derby Eve party on May 1, and her dramatic transformation was nothing short of stunning.

She sported a gothic dress from Punk Rave—an embroidered, strapless corset gown with a sheer draped skirt—and her platinum blonde hair, tipped with jet black.

“I wanted something edgy and cool,” Dannielynn told People of her new look.

A friend of her late mother, who is a hairstylist, helped execute the look, chopping off her hair and adding wild colors.

“I was kind of bracing myself at the hair salon,” Larry laughed. “But I guess she’s at the age to do what she wants.”

Though he admitted to initially worrying about her dramatic makeover, Larry quickly realized that this year’s look is all about Dannielynn finding her own identity.

“This is a different style for her. People expect her to wear something like her mom, but this is Dannielynn showing off her own sense of style,” he said. “She said it’s a goth-rock theme. She’s coming into her own, doing her own thing.”

For Dannielynn, this new look is more than just a fashion statement — it’s a way to honor her late mother while embracing her individuality. “This is a way to embrace myself while remembering my beautiful mom,” she shared.

The duo’s all-black looks were a departure from the bright, more traditional outfits Dannielynn has worn to previous Derby events.
