Kentucky has shaken up the coaching staff one final time before the start of the 2021 season. Scott Woodward is now officially Kentucky’s wide receivers coach, replacing Jovon Bouknight after one season. Bouknight remains on staff as a quality control analyst.

Bouknight was suspended this summer following a drunk driving arrest in northern Kentucky. He pleaded guilty to two charges, driving at least 26 miles over the speed limit and possession of an open alcoholic beverage in a vehicle. Bouknight avoided a DUI conviction for refusing to submit to a sobriety test.

Bouknight’s replacement has a lengthy history with offensive coordinator Liam Coen.
