Five Kentucky football players with the most to prove in 2017

With SEC Football Media Days just three weeks away, Kentucky football will arrive before we know it.

With that in mind, here is one man’s list of the five UK players with the most to prove this fall:

1. Jordan Jones

The junior linebacker from Youngstown, Ohio, was the lone UK first-team selection on the Birmingham News’ 71st annual preseason All-SEC team, selected by the league’s communication directors. Jones did top bowl-bound Kentucky in tackles last year, earning second-team All-SEC honors from the coaches. UK announced Tuesday that Jones was a third-team All-America preseason choice by Athlon.
