Kentucky offensive lineman Kenneth Horsey is one of three winners announced Saturday of the Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year Award, along with Colorado running back Jarek Broussard and Coastal Carolina linebacker Silas Kelly.

“I could imagine this because football was one of the things that kept me motivated,” Horsey, a third-year sophomore, told AP.
NC State seething in underdog role vs Kentucky in Gator Bowl
By MARK LONGJanuary 1, 2021 GMT
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) It’s one of the oddest betting lines of the bowl season.
No. 24 North Carolina State (8-3) is a 2 ½-point underdog against Kentucky (4-6) in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, a number the Wolfpack consider a slight heading into Saturday’s game in Jacksonville.
NC State has won four in a row, the longest streak in the Atlantic Coast Conference. It has eked out low-scoring games, won a couple shootouts and finished with more league victories than ever before.

Kentucky was so bad offensively that coach Mark Stoops fired two assistants less than 2
The imaginary basketball arena is modelled and rendered.
Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said Monday senior Terry Wilson will start at quarterback for the Wildcats when they face North Carolina State in the Gator Bowl on Saturday.

Clinkscale is young (43) but has experience as a full-time DC with Cincinnati in 2015. He grew up in Youngstown and coached at Ashland HS, giving him those Ohio connections many covet. Meanwhile he s also been going to work in Michigan, having pulled Justin Rogers and Marquan McCall from Oak Park. That helped him come in at 31 in the 2020 recruiter rankings at 24/7 (Don Brown at 41!), although I don t see his name in the top 75 for 2019 or 2021. At a glance it appears tough to make the list at a school like Kentucky.
