  10/02/20 - Tayvion Robinson, rSr/2024, Kentucky, 5-11, 191 (DS#44 WR) + More +

  Virginia Tech receiver Tayvion Robinson showed plenty of promise last season as a true freshman playing in the slot. He kicked off his sophomore year moving over a few steps to outside receiver in Saturday night's win over North Carolina State, but his talent was still clearly on display. He caught four passes for 40 yards with a touchdown. "They trusted me this year (on the outside), so just learning as I go," Robinson said in a virtual news conference with reporters on Tuesday. Robinson spent most of the team's truncated offseason working at the position. He said he had to "buckle down" in fall camp and learn how to handle press coverage, something he didn't see last year playing in the slot.

"It's completely different from slot because 99% of times you're getting press coverage compared to in the slot, you're getting the off, nickel," Robinson said. He beat press coverage on the touchdown he scored. Robinson lined up against N.C. State cornerback Malik Dunlap and to get in position to make the play had to fight his way free in the end zone to make the catch. "I was practicing all week on hand-to-hand combat, and specifically on that play I got the coverage I wanted," Robinson said. "Learning how to use my hands, fight with bigger DBs because I'm a shorter receiver. I'm learning, and Quincy threw a great ball, and I just made a play on it." - Roanoke Times

  10/01/20 - *Dare Rosenthal, rJr/2022, Kentucky, 6-7, 290 (DS#14 OT) + More +

  LSU coach Ed Orgeron still lists starting left tackle Dare Rosenthal as "questionable" for the Vanderbilt game. The 6-foot-7, 327-pound sophomore went down late in the Mississippi State game, and Orgeron said Rosenthal didn't practice Tuesday and his status will be more clear by the end of the week. Rosenthal was injured on the final drive of the game. He dove to cut down an oncoming defender at the line of scrimmage, and his right shoulder made contact with the defender. Rosenthal favored the shoulder as he walked with LSU training staff to the sideline. "He did not practice yesterday," Orgeron said Wednesday morning on the SEC's weekly teleconference. "I don't know if he's going to practice today. We're going to have to see toward the end of the week, see if he's available." Orgeron said sophomore Cam Wire would start in Rosenthal's place if necessary. Wire started at left tackle in practice on Tuesday. - Baton Rouge Advocate

  09/24/20 - Asim Rose, rSr/2021, Kentucky, 6-1, 215 (DS#32 RB) + More +

  Pittsburgh Steelers fans are learning something Kentucky football fans have long known: It's dangerous to ever underestimate Benny Snell. After a middling rookie season, Snell opened 2020 with 113 yards in the Steelers' season-opening Monday night win over the New York Giants. Now, Steelers fans wonder if Snell could take over the starting job full time. Meanwhile, the running back some recruiting pundits projected to be better than Snell in Kentucky's 2016 recruiting class might be poised for a breakout season of his own. "I feel like A.J. (Rose) is pushing himself to another level, which is really good," UK coach Mark Stoops said on his radio show Monday. "...A.J. has been around here for a while. He's ripped off some big runs for us in the past. I feel like he's more physical than he's been. I feel like he's squaring his shoulders up, he's running the ball down field, he's getting the tough 2 yards when you need 2 yards."

Snell and Rose were both three-star prospects in UK's 2016 class, but Rivals.com gave Rose a 5.6 rating and Snell a 5.5. Rose ended up redshirting in his first year on campus while Snell forced Kentucky coaches to play him right away as a freshman. Snell became the first player in program history to record three straight 1,000-yard seasons before declaring for the 2019 NFL draft, where the Steelers selected him in the fourth round. Snell leaving Kentucky a year early for the NFL and Rose's freshman redshirt provided Rose two years as the Wildcats' starter outside the shadow of his fellow Ohio native. Rose started all 13 games for Kentucky last season, but he split carries with redshirt freshmen Kavosiey Smoke and Chris Rodriguez. - Courier Journal

  09/23/20 - Beau Allen, rSr/2026, Kentucky, 6-2, 211 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Freshman Beau Allen opens Kentucky football's first game week as the Wildcats' No. 2 quarterback. Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said the school is still waiting to learn the status of Auburn transfer Joey Gatewood, who was widely assumed to be the team's backup if eligible. Gatewood has applied for a transfer waiver to allow him to play right away instead of sitting out the normal year required by NCAA rules. "There's no agreement, no gentleman's agreement," Stoops said, refuting reports that Kentucky and Auburn had agreed to hold Gatewood out against his former team in exchange for him being eligible to play the rest of the season. "I'm waiting to hear back from the league because it's SEC to SEC school. We're waiting to hear back from them."

Stoops declined to specify if Allen had won the backup job or was only listed as the No. 2 quarterback because Gatewood's status for the opener is uncertain. Allen, the former four-star recruit and Lexington Catholic star, has received consistent praise from UK coaches throughout preseason practice. He graduated from Lexington Catholic a semester early to enroll at UK in the spring, enabling him to participate in UK's coronavirus-shortened spring practice. "Beau is really doing a good job," Stoops said on a recent episode of his radio show. "He makes some mistakes, but he's one of those unflappable guys. Very calm. He's got a great presence about him. Anticipates things really well. Throws the ball very efficiently. Very high on Beau." - Courier Journal

  True freshman running back Seth McGowan had the honors of scoring OU's first touchdown of the night - and the Sooners' 2020 season. McGowan, who has replaced Jalen Hurts as the new No. 1 jersey in OU's backfield, punched in a score at the goal line to give the Sooners a 7-0 lead with 11:24 left in the first quarter. McGowan and Marcus Major were OU's only available scholarship running backs with Pledger not on the sideline and Rhamondre Stevenson serving a suspension. - Norman Transcript

  09/09/20 - J.J. Weaver, rSr/2025, Kentucky, 6-5, 251 (DS#28 DE) + More +

  Moving Josh Paschal to defensive end accomplished two goals for Kentucky. Now fully recovered from his immunotherapy treatments after a malignant melanoma diagnosis, Paschal has regained the weight that makes him an excellent fit for a pass-rushing lineman. Also, the move to one of the open defensive line starting spots allows for more reps at his old position, "Jack" linebacker, for Jordan Wright and J.J. Weaver. Wright is projected to open the season as the starter, but Weaver was already pushing for a larger role down the stretch during his 2019 redshirt season and has apparently built on that success throughout the offseason.

"J.J. is ready to take a step," defensive coordinator and outside linebackers coach Brad White said. "...The fact that he's just a redshirt freshman, he's had a really solid camp thus far. He's really done a great job in terms of shaping his body. He's already had really good length, but his flexibility, his twitch have improved. His weight and his mass have improved, and his understanding of the game is improved." With Boogie Watson, Paschal, Wright and Weaver, Kentucky should have no shortage of pass rushing options this season. He seems ready to contribute now, but the season could be particularly important for Weaver positioning himself to take over Watson's starting outside linebacker spot in 2021. "He's really started to take a step there," White said. "Really excited about the potential that he has in him and how much more there still is to tap into." - Courier Journal

  09/09/20 - *Dare Rosenthal, rJr/2022, Kentucky, 6-7, 290 (DS#14 OT) + More +

  Orgeron sees Rosenthal as a possible All-American and future first-round NFL draft pick. Rosenthal signed with LSU as the highest-rated defensive tackle in Louisiana, but his 6-foot-7 and 327-pound frame was better suited for the offensive line. Rosenthal filled in at left tackle last season with starter Saahdiq Charles in-and-out of the lineup. Rosenthal played in five games. He started against Northwestern State, Utah State and Mississippi State, playing 229 snaps, the third-most of any returning offensive lineman. - Baton Rouge Advocate

  09/05/20 - Josh Ali, rSr/2022, Kentucky, 5-11, 191 (DS#83 WR) + More +

  No Kentucky fan or player needs reminded that the Wildcat wide receivers had to take a back seat last season once the offense shifted to an almost exclusively rushing attack with Lynn Bowden at quarterback. Still, Josh Ali offered one of the few highlights of the second half from the receivers with a stellar Belk Bowl showing with four catches for 52 yards and the game-winning touchdown. Early indications suggest Ali has built on that performance to position himself for a standout senior season. "He's gotten faster, stronger," Gran said. "...He just really looks quick. Coach (Jovon Bouknight) has really worked with him on his releases. He's doing a great job of getting off the ball and being more physical. I love where he's at. He's being a leader out there. He certainly is the No. 1 guy out there right now at the receiver position." - Courier Journal

  09/03/20 - Quinton Bohanna, Sr/2021, Kentucky, 6-4, 327 (DS#19 DT) + More +

  Kentucky has some things to sort out beside Bohanna - how well it replaces T.J. Carter and Calvin Taylor Jr. could be the biggest difference-maker between a "good" and "great" season for the first line of ball-stoppers - but what it for sure has is a likely high-round NFL prospect locking down the middle. Bohanna probably would have been selected in this year's draft but will look to improve his stock during a second straight season as a full-time starter. The Wildcats in back-to-back seasons have finished as a top-20 squad in terms of total defense, but last year rated in the middle of the pack when it came to stopping the run (No. 63 among all 130 FBS squads). Bohanna - 367 pounds of pure intimidation - will have a big hand in any gains made in that department. - Herald Leader
