Kicker/punter Drew Basil (Chillicothe, Ohio) headed south to SEC country and came away with his second scholarship offer.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder attended Kentucky's camp last Friday and showed the Wildcats' staff his ability to punt, kickoff and hit field goals.

"The (Kentucky) coaches had seen my video," Basil said. "Then in person they thought I did well."

However, Basil did not immediately land an offer from the Wildcats. He headed back to Lexington on Wednesday and kicked and punted for Kentucky coach Rich Brooks.

"Then he offered me," Basil said. "I told him thank you and it is great to get an offer. Then I went on a tour of the facilities and saw the academic center."

Basil has offers from Kentucky and Air Force, and said he is looking at both schools. He is also looking at Purdue, Ohio State, Michigan, LSU, Alabama and Cincinnati.

He worked out at Ohio State's punting and kicking camp on Thursday and is going to visit Iowa State on Friday. Basil said he does not have a favorite at this point.
