Former UK coach Guy Morriss could land one of the nation’s top prep quarterbacks on Sunday. That’s when G.J. Kinne, a senior-to-be from Gilmer, Texas, will make a verbal commitment to either Morris’ Baylor Bears or Florida.
Kinne was the AP Class 3A Texas Offensive Player of the Year last season. His father, former Baylor linebacker Gary Joe Kinne, is an assistant coach on Morris’ staff in Waco.
The younger Kinne did have Tennessee on his list, but scratched the Vols when narrowing his choices to Baylor and Florida.
