The state of Rhode Island isn’t often thought of as a football powerhouse, but it is now the home state of both the Kentucky Wildcats’ defensive and offensive coordinators.
Defensive coordinator Brad White is originally from The Ocean State, and now newly-hired offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach brings a second face from Rhode Island to the UK coaching staff.
Despite growing up in the heart of New England with little personal connections to Kentucky, the newly hired UK offensive coordinator said he grew up watching several football Wildcats of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
