An unresolved enigma may have found its answer, thanks to Will Stein, Joe Sloan, and a group of dynamic Kentucky tight ends.
“Is Kentucky finally going to throw it to the tight ends?” If I had a nickel for every time I heard that in the summer ahead of a Kentucky football season, I could have retired long ago.
Big Blue Nation watched stellar tight end play for decades. James Whalen was an All-American in the Air Raid. Derek Smith and Jacob Tamme followed in quick succession, helping light up scoreboards as dynamic pass-catchers. CJ Conrad brought some juice as a true freshman, but Kentucky fans were left wanting more.
