“Recruit and develop” has become a bit of a rallying cry for the University of Kentucky football team in recent years. Josh Allen’s dramatic leap from a two-star prospect and the No. 2,121 player in his class into the nation’s top defensive player and the No. 7 pick in the NFL Draft solidified the phrase.
Throughout the day, I’ll be showcasing three additional Wildcats who fit with that same expression – recruit and develop.
First up? TJ Carter.
Like Allen, Carter came to Kentucky as a two-star recruit. The Georgia native first made waves as a true freshman in the TaxSlayer Bowl, when Carter recorded a pair of tackles and a crucial pass break-up on a third down.
