  Louisville native J.J. Weaver could be back on the field for Kentucky football faster than expected this fall. "J.J. is doing very good," UK coach Mark Stoops said during Kentucky's appearance at SEC Media Days Tuesday. "He's definitely ahead of schedule, working extremely hard." Weaver, a former star at Moore High School, was in the midst of a breakout season when he tore the ACL in his right knee in a Nov. 28 game against Florida. He finished the season with 33 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and one-half sack in nine games. Weaver was voted to the SEC's All-Freshman team by the league coaches.

"He's working his tail off," UK defensive coordinator and outside linebackers coach Brad White said when asked about Weaver's rehabilitation during spring practice. "That's all I can ask for: A guy that puts in the time and he grinds. ... Right now, it's big on the mental piece. ... When he steps back, he may not be able to physically execute them but at least if we can have it all mentally locked in then we're further ahead in the process. OK, when you come back, let's physically put those things into action and go from there. "He's done a great job. He's up all the time watching film. He's asking questions. He's getting all his rehab sessions in, pushing harder. 'OK, can I come up after, let's do some individual stuff.' He's in every meeting. So, really pleased with that. Trying to get as much squeezed out of that as we can." - Courier Journal
