Five-star prospect Chris Livingston announced Wednesday his commitment to the Kentucky Wildcats, bolstering the program's already impressive 2022 recruiting class.

A consensus top-15 recruit, the 6-foot-6 forward chose Kentucky over Georgetown and Tennessee State.

Although Livingston is listed as a wing, the Akron, Ohio native possesses natural guard abilities on the perimeter and has the size and athleticism to defend bigger bodies in the college game.

Head coach John Calipari made headlines earlier this month after guard Shaedon Sharpe, the No. 1 prospect in the 2022 class, committed to Kentucky.

With Livingston joining Sharpe and five-star guard Skyy Clark, the Wildcats are putting together a star-studded freshman group for the 2022-23 season.

Kentucky finished with a 9-16 record last year, but a strong transfer class for this upcoming campaign should bring the program back to its winning ways before Livingston and Co. set foot on campus.
