25 current and former University of Kentucky student-athletes from six different sports are set to graduate on Friday.

UK’s December Commencement ceremonies will be held at Rupp Arena this weekend, with the schedule found here. Combining the 93 student-athletes who received their diplomas in May, UK Athletics is expected to have 118 total graduates during the 2021 calendar year.

22 student-athletes are currently competing or recently completed eligibility, though three additional Wildcats — all baseball players, namely unanimous 2014 National Player of the Year AJ Reed — are expected to graduate after finishing their undergraduate work as part of UK Athletics’ Post-Eligibility program.
