If you were hoping for some clarity regarding Chris Rodriguez‘s availability for this season at SEC Media Days, well, you’re out of luck. Stoops just told local reporters that he is “still monitoring” Rodriguez’s situation with less than 50 days until kickoff. The Kentucky running back was arrested for a DUI on Nicholasville Rd. in May and pleaded guilty earlier this month.
Rodriguez is on the verge of rewriting Kentucky’s record book after a historic 2021 season. He set a new school record with nine 100-yard rushing games to tally 1,378 yards.
