By AARON CORDERO

There are several incoming freshman who could make an immediate impact and some who will likely redshirt the 2010 season. However, there are also a few who might not make it to Kentucky.

Most likely to greyshirt or not enroll:

Tim Patterson (DE) was the biggest surprise in the 2010 class in my opinion.  All signs indicated he would sign with Louisville.  In the end, Joker Phillips was able to secure his commitment.  Patterson played Linebacker in high school, but most have projected him to move to Defensive End in college.  Reports are mixed on Patterson’s academic status.  If he enrolls this summer, most feel he will redshirt.  He has a tremendous upside due to his size and speed.

Farrington Huguenin (DE) was another late surprise by Joker Phillips.  Huguenin is from South Carolina and most consider him a high risk / high reward type of player.  Huguenin posted an extremely fast shuttle time at one combine and plays hard every play.  If he makes it to campus he will need to work on his strength to play defensive end in the SEC, but will likely start out at Linebacker at UK.  Much like Patterson, if he enrolls this summer he is a redshirt candidate too.

Donte Rumph (DE) gets placed in this category because this is the third time he has signed with UK.  The staff kept their promise with Rumph and stuck with him.  It also speaks volume of his potential.  Because of his age, he is older than most freshman, but will have five years to play four.  Rumph’s Uncle is the Defensive End Coach at Clemson and will need to get into football shape again.  If he makes it on campus, everyone should be very happy for him because most people would not have shown the persistence he has.  Coming out of high school, he was expected to contribute early.
