More Governor’s Cup veterans are trading red for blue. According to Matt Zenitz, Kolby Smith is expected to be Kentucky’s next running backs coach.
It doesn’t feel like it was that long ago when Smith was suiting up for UofL. College Football Reference jogged my memory. It’s actually been 20 years since he split carries with Michael Bush. Smith logged more than 1,800 yards and 18 touchdowns between 2003-06. He was taken in the fifth round of the NFL Draft and spent four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs before entering the coaching ranks.
