Wildcats Excited to Return to Play in their Home State of Georgia

Kentucky’s roster features 14 players from the state of Georgia, trailing only Florida (18), Kentucky and Ohio (23 apiece). Two players from the Peach State have become stars on Kentucky’s defensive line, Calvin Taylor Jr. and T.J. Carter.

It’s gonna be fun going back home,” Carter said Thursday afternoon. “They’re a good team. They’re a highly-ranked team. That’s enough motivation itself. But definitely going back to the home state, a team that missed on recruiting you, obviously I’m glad I came here, but there’ll definitely be extra fire going back there.”

An under the radar recruit from Mableton, Ga.
