Kentucky’s Defense is in the hands of “Football Genius” Brad White

In 2018, Kentucky’s defense never looked better. Replicating a similar equation will not be simple, but Boogie Watson believes Mark Stoops found the right man for the job.

He’s a football genius in my opinion,” Watson said Thursday morning. “Coming from the NFL, since the first day he got here he helped me out with everything I’ve done. His pass rush techniques have helped me tremendously. As a whole defense I think he has some good schemes he’s installing right now.”

That genius is Brad White. Last month Stoops promoted Watson’s outside linebackers coach to defensive coordinator.
