LEXINGTON, Ky. — Vince Marrow spent Valentine’s Day in 2021 taking in some high school hoops. The University of Kentucky football recruiting ace was in Richmond to watch his nephew, John McCrear, then playing for Lexington Catholic, face off against Madison Central.
While there, Marrow had a productive night for his day job. The UK assistant observed a nearly 6-foot-9 Madison Central hoops reserve whose body suggested he had the makings of an intriguing college football prospect.
That began Malachi Wood’s path to becoming a class of 2023 Kentucky Wildcats football commit.
