KSR SOURCES: Derrick LeBlanc leaving Kentucky, set to take Arkansas DL job

The Kentucky football program will have to replace a key piece of its staff this offseason.

Coming off an 8-5 season and a 37-30 victory in the Belk Bowl, sources tell KSR’s Ryan Lemond that UK defensive line coach Derrick LeBlanc is set to leave the program and take a similar position at Arkansas.

As feared, I just heard that @UKFootball defensive line coach Derrick LeBlanc is in fact leaving UK to take a similar position at @RazorbackFB #BBN

Sources tell KSR that LeBlanc took multiple calls last offseason regarding various coaching opportunities and nearly left then.
