Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops is prepared to tag Cincinnati defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Steve Clinkscale with the defensive back role at Kentucky. Clinkscale will fill the role left vacant by Derrick Ansley when he left for Alabama.
Clinkscale joined Tommy Tuberville’s Cincinnati staff in 2013 after a season with Illinois. He was also a cornerback coach and special teams coordinator with Toledo for three seasons. He is a native of Youngstown, Ohio, similar to Stoops and tight end coach/recruiting coordinator Vince Marrow.
