Mark Stoops confident in Kentucky secondary going into season

Kentucky football’s defensive talent is clear at this point. Between J.J. Weaver, Jordan Wright, DeAndre Square, Jacquez Jones, Trevin Wallace, Octavious Oxendine, Josaih Hayes and Deone Walker, among others, the Wildcats have some dudes in the front seven.

The secondary, though, is a bigger question. Kentucky is fine in the first two levels, but what about that crucial third?

If you ask head coach Mark Stoops, his team is just fine in that area, as well. In fact, he’s more confident in the Kentucky secondary going into this fall than he did last season — a year in which the Wildcats finished 10-3.
