We are incredibly excited to announce the commitment of Aiden McLaughlin to Kentucky Rugby! Aiden brings an elite skill set to Lexington as a Fullback and Wing.
Aiden is the definition of "fast of feet and fast of mind." He is an electric counter-attacking threat, completely reliable under pressure in the backfield, and possesses a tactical awareness that changes games. Most importantly, he plays with his heart on his sleeve—bringing a level of grit, passion, and work ethic that perfectly embodies the Wildcat spirit.
We can't wait to see him lace up and add his spark to our backline. Welcome to the family, Aiden!

We are thrilled to welcome Cameron Mitchell to the Wildcat family! Cameron comes to us from the Charlotte Cardinals and Marvin Ridge High School, bringing tactical versatility to Lexington as a Scrum-half and Flyhalf.
Cameron is an a great talent with a big boot on him, clinical decision-making, and a high ceiling. But what truly sets him apart is his character—he's a fundamentally kind, grounded young man who leads by example and fits perfectly into the culture we are building here.
We can't wait to see him pull on the Kentucky blueprint and drive our attack forward! Welcome home, Cameron!
