Kentucky Football Lands Commit from QB Javien Pletz of Governor Mifflin High School
LEXINGTON, KY – The University of Kentucky football program has secured a significant commitment for its future with quarterback Javien Pletz from Governor Mifflin High School in Shillington, Pennsylvania. Pletz, known for his strong arm and playmaking ability, announced his commitment to the Wildcats on social media this week, adding another promising talent to Kentucky’s growing recruiting class.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound signal caller had an impressive high school career at Governor Mifflin, where he showcased a blend of athleticism, accuracy, and leadership under center. Pletz led his team to multiple successful seasons, throwing for over 2,500 yards and 30 touchdowns during his junior year. His ability to read defenses and make quick decisions in high-pressure situations stood out to Kentucky’s coaching staff, who have been actively recruiting him for several months.
“We are thrilled to welcome Javien Pletz to the Kentucky football family,” said Wildcats head coach Mark Stoops. “He is a dynamic quarterback with a lot of upside, and his ability to make plays both in the air and on the ground is exactly what we need in our offensive system. We believe Javien has the potential to be a star in the SEC.”
For Pletz, the decision to commit to Kentucky was driven by the opportunity to play in the Southeastern Conference and develop under a coaching staff that has produced successful quarterbacks in recent years. “I’m excited about the chance to compete at the highest level and be part of a program with such a rich tradition,” said Pletz. “I can’t wait to get started and help the Wildcats win championships.”
Kentucky football fans are already buzzing with excitement over the addition of Pletz, who could become a key part of the Wildcats’ offense in the coming years. His commitment signals that Kentucky is continuing to build for the future and strengthen its recruiting pipeline.
