Lexington Christian Academy quarterback Cutter Boley will be enrolling at UK in January to get a head start on the 2024 season.
“I feel like at quarterback I need to know as much as I can and get in the playbook and learn as fast as I can to compete and have the best chance to get on the field,” Boley said. “I want to get in early and get that extra time that some other kids don’t to get ahead.”
LCA coach Doug Charles says getting to UK in January was not an easy task for Boley.
“He will be the first senior to have ever graduated at LCA in December,” Charles said. “It has not been easy. He had to take statistics and Spanish 2 online and those are two tough classes. He had to do that on top of playing a very tough schedule.
“Also at just about every home (UK) game Kentucky wanted him down there at the facility helping them put this recruiting class together. After a Friday night game, he would be there at 10 a.m. for a noon game. We played three Saturday night games and two of them he was at the UK facility until 4 o’clock. But that’s the kind of kid he is. The character he exemplified all season was just a blessing for our team and school.”
Boley and others will be able to sign with UK starting Dec. 20. The Cats currently have a top 25 recruiting class.
“We have all gotten really close. There were a few guys on official visits with me and we have kept in touch. Even some guys uncommitted or committed to other places I have stayed in contact with,” Boley said.
Boley completed 172 of 268 passes for 2,187 yards and 24 scores with nine interceptions this year. He finished his career completing 565 of 937 passes for 8,331 yards and 82 scores. He also ran for 17 touchdowns.

I hope we don’t lose this guy the way Stoops has been handling the QB situation.
The work needed to succeed never ends. What a great example to students planning a variety of careers. And think of the support that can be offered to get over the top.
What a wonderful family for others to model.
Boley would do well to use his red shirt year to watch the competition between Allen and Vandagriff and learn from it. Allen will have the advantage of experience and Vandagriff will have the advantage of talent. Learn from both of those guys and Boley might find himself in a very good spot coming off his red shirt year.
