A three-star recruit according to the 247Sports Composite, Blake Bone proved enough to Kentucky coaches during his first preseason camp to end any talk of him using a redshirt season to build on his slender frame as he added needed size and leaping ability to the Wildcat receiving corp. He made the coaches' decision look wise with two catches for 65 yards and one touchdown in his collegiate debut. Bone finished his freshman season ranked eighth on the team in receptions (14) and sixth in receiving yards (194).
