The Mount Rushmore of Kentucky football running backs

The University of Kentucky has a proud and storied history of producing tough, talented, and productive running backs. Often these guys are recruited over and come to Kentucky to prove they belong among the best. From elusive speedsters to powerful bulldozers, the names on this list have defined eras of Wildcat football. Narrowing it down to just four was not easy, but this is our attempt to chisel the faces into the granite.

This is the Mount Rushmore of Kentucky football running backs in no particular order.
