Kincade is one of three true freshmen seeing consistent playing time for the Hilltopper defense. The Valdosta, Ga., native has backed up Leverick Johnson at nickelback, making five tackles through two games and pulling down WKU’s only interception of the season Saturday in a 20-7 loss at Illinois.
Freshman Roger Cray has started at one of the Toppers’ two cornerback positions opposite Joe Brown. The Lake City, Fla., native has made five tackles between the Illinois loss and a 31-17 win Sept. 2 against Eastern Kentucky.
They’ll be on the field again Saturday when the Tops host Louisiana Tech in their Conference USA opener.
