Kentucky left spring football with five scholarship tailbacks on the roster and a position room that second-year running backs coach John Settle could feel good about. But things can change quickly in college football.
In May, All-SEC tailback Chris Rodriguez Jr. appeared to land in some hot water. There are some eligibility concerns for the redshirt senior who could set the Kentucky record for career rushing yards this fall. His availability was not directly addressed in Atlanta at SEC Media Days or in Lexington on Wednesday at Kentucky’s Media Day.
Over the summer, however, Kentucky did not stand pat at tailback.
