Three years ago he was a Texas high school star quarterback. Now Zion Childress is a Kentucky defensive back, on the verge of his first career start vs. Northern Illinois.
KSR has learned super senior safety Ty Ajian could miss some time after suffering an injury against Youngstown State. The Wildcats’ other starting safety, Jalen Geiger, is likely out for the season. The two injuries are forcing Childress into a more prominent role at both free and strong safety alongside Jordan Lovett.
