Octavious Oxendine, Kentucky, Player News
|
Octavious Oxendine was in the midst of a breakout season last fall when he suffered a knee injury against LSU that sidelined him for UK's final seven games. Through the first six, the North Hardin High School grad tallied 15 total tackles, 3.5 tackles fo r loss and two sacks. Cutting back on his beloved chicken Alfredo, Oxendine reported to camp weighing 281 pounds after checking in at 318 last year. He's noticed a difference - "I feel faster," he said - and his coaches are seeing it, too. "His weight is down, but he looks stronger," defensive coordinator Brad White said at the start of camp. "He's looser than he's ever been in the past. He's a guy that's brimming with confidence."Kentucky's defensive line needs Oxendine to take on a bigger role with the departure of leading tackler Paschal to the NFL, and the junior's weight loss journey appears to have put him on the right track. A more-versatile Oxendine bodes well for UK's rotation-based approach in the trenches, and defensive line coach Anw ar Stewart has compared the Radcliff native's preseason form to that of Paschal, who weighed 278 pounds during his 2021 All-SEC campaign. "He's playing really fast," Stewart said of Oxendine. "Shoot, when he gets on the edge pass-rush-wise, he's a very s trong kid and athletic, very twitchy. He's playing a lot like Josh Paschal." - Courier Journal

Two University of Kentucky football players inked a deal with the Paris City Schools district in what the superintendent says is the first deal of its kind. Players John Young and Octavious Oxendine will serve as ambassadors for the district and make app earances throughout the school year to interact with students and community members, Paris City Schools Superintendent Stephen McCauley said in a news release. "We are excited to announce the first partnership between a Kentucky school district and colle giate student athletes," McCauley said.In the Paris City Schools partnership, McCauley said an anonymous donor is providing the funds. There are no taxpayer dollars or school funds involved, he said in an interview with the Herald-Leader on Tuesda y. McCauley did not immediately provide the amount of money involved in the deal. He said he knew of no other public school district in Kentucky that had launched a similar arrangement. In 2021, the NCAA allowed college athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness while still retaining their amateur playing ability. - Herald Leader

Kentucky defensive tackle Octavious Oxendine will miss the rest of the season with a lower leg injury sustained in the No. 11 Wildcats' 42-21 win over LSU. Coach Mark Stoops wasn't more specific about Oxendine's injury on Monday but called it a “big lo ss” considering Kentucky (6-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) has already lost nose guard Marquan McCall in the win over Florida with what he described as a lower extremity injury. Senior Abule Abadi-Fitzgerald is listed as the starter for Saturday's Eas t Division showdown at top-ranked Georgia. The announcement comes as Oxendine was named SEC co-defensive line player of the week for his play against LSU. The sophomore recorded two sacks among three tackles, earning credit for a sack after forcing an in tentional grounding call. He was eighth on the team with 15 tackles, including 3.5 for loss. - AP College Football
