DJ Wagner will be a Kentucky Wildcat.

The five-star guard chose the Wildcats Monday, officially announcing his decision to play college basketball in Lexington.

The 6-foot-3 Wagner chose Kentucky over Louisville.

Wagner joins Rob Dillingham, Justin Edwards, Aaron Bradshaw, and Reed Sheppard in Kentucky’s 2023 class, the No. 1 class in college basketball.

Wagner’s father, Dajuan, played for John Calipari at Memphis, where he was selected No. 6 overall in the NBA Draft after his freshman season.
