C.J. Conrad continues to be the right call for Kentucky football

From getting the call to making one of his own, former Kentucky football standout CJ Conrad always seems to be in the right spot.

As one of the most popular players during the Mark Stoops era, Conrad is best known for making the game-winning catch at Missouri in 2018, getting his number called on the final play of the game as Terry Wilson hit the 6-foot-5 tight end with a 2-yard strike in the left corner of the end zone for a thrilling 15-14 walk-off victory during a record-setting year for Kentucky football.

Fast forward to 2020 and Conrad, now retired from football after a year-long stint on the New York Giants’ practice squad, picked up the phone, making the right call once again, this time to Stoops, who recently named the Ohio native as an off-the-field graduate assistant coach for the 2020 season.
