Linebacker Sam Greene announces return to Kentucky
A key piece to the Kentucky defense is sticking around for the Will Stein era.
On Friday night, linebacker Sam Greene announced on Instagram that he’s returning for another season with the Wildcats. A former transfer from Southern California, Greene recorded 25 tackles, three tackles for loss, four quarterback hurries, one sack, and one pass deflection in nine games played during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-2, 250-pound product out of Washington D.C. missed the final three games of the year due to an injury that required surgery.
Instead of opting for the portal, Greene is opting to stick with the ‘Cats. A redshirt sophomore, he’ll have three years of eligibility remaining in Lexington.
