Razzano Signs With Kentucky: Joe Razzano, one of the nation’s top fullbacks in the 2003 recruiting class, has signed to play football at Kentucky, Coach Rich Brooks has announced.

Razzano originally signed with Virginia Tech in February, but was released from his commitment during the summer. He will report on Aug. 6 and will be eligible to play for UK in 2003.

“Joe is one of the top-rated fullbacks in the nation,” Brooks said. “He runs the ball well and is an outstanding blocker. He didn’t catch a lot of passes last year but has good hands. He will add serious competition to that position this fall and we look forward to having him join our Wildcat family.”
