Kentucky linebacker Marquez Bembry has undegone knee surgery and will miss UK’s spring practice, Mark Stoops said Monday.
Bembry, a 6-foot-3, 240-pound product of Stone Mountain, Ga., is a transfer from Jones County Community College in Mississippi.
At a news conference after wintry weather moved UK’s first day of spring practice into the Nutter Fieldhouse, Stoops also said senior-to-be wide receiver Ahmad Wagner missed the practice with a hamstring injury.
Stoops also announced that redshirt sophomore Clevan Thomas, who signed with Kentucky as a wide receiver but was working out as a defensive back before the VRBO Citrus Bowl, has returned to wideout this spring.
