LEXINGTON – Ask Kentucky linebacker Boogie Watson about new teammate J.J. Weaver, and Watson will mention summer weekends.
“He’s been working out on Saturdays, just by himself sometimes, just getting extra work,” said Watson of Weaver. “He’s very dedicated to get work in. I’m excited to see his progress.”
So is much of Big Blue Nation.
A 6-foot-5, 237-pound edge rusher and four-star prospect with size, length and loads of athletic potential at a valued defensive position, Weaver became one of the prized additions in Kentucky’s 2019 class when he signed out of Louisville's Moore Traditional School.
