Kentucky knew they were getting a top-notch football player when they starting recruiting 2012 prospect Patrick Towles, as he was sought after by many prestigious college football programs.
Towels, who has a solid verbal commitment to Kentucky, is a 6’4″, 230-pound QB from Fort Thomas, Kentucky. He attended Highlands High School.
During his junior campaign, Towles threw for 2471 yards and 21 touchdowns. He also rushed for 882 yards and 18 touchdowns. He led Highlands to a 14-1 record and a 5-A state championship.
As a reward for such an astonishing season, ESPN has given him a 79 “scouts grade” and a 4-star rating. Here is a little of what ESPN has to same about Towles:
[QUOTE]Towles is definitely flying under the radar both as an athlete and passer. He possesses a supreme blend of size, arm strength and dual-threat ability. He is a gifted athlete with great feet that is dangerous when outside the pocket or called upon in the run game[/QUOTE]As stated by ESPN, Towles can hurt you with both his arm and feet, which is a very useful tool for quarterbacks at the collegiate level. Towels runs a 4.7 40-yard dash and a 4.41 shuttle.
Towles is just one of seven commitments so far for the Wildcats. Josh Harris and Thomas Chapman received a 3-star from ESPN.
