Jordan Wright's return gives Kentucky 'all hands on deck'

Anthony Richardson, Anthony Richardson, Anthony Richardson. Kentucky’s defense has heard about Florida’s new dual-threat quarterback all week and knows the challenge will be stiff stopping the Gators in The Swamp.

It helps when you have a defense at full strength. That became true for defensive coordinator Brad White’s unit on Thursday when super senior EDGE Jordan Wright was cleared to join the defense before the Week 2 road trip to Gainesville.

The top havoc producer on Kentucky’s defense, Wright has recorded 15.5 tackles for loss, 11 passes defended, four forced fumbles, and two defensive touchdowns during his time in Lexington.
