About Ruffolo

Matt Ruffolo is entering his sixth season at the University of Kentucky. Ruffolo arrived as a walk-on in 2017 when Austin MacGinnis was still using his boomstick to bang balls through the uprights. Miles Butler held the position for one more year until Ruffolo forced his way onto the field in 2019.
