SPRING OUTLOOK

The goals for Kentucky football are broad-based as the Wildcats head into spring practice. “We need to get better at every position on the field,” Coach Mark Stoops said. “Although the results last season weren’t what we wanted, I was pleased with the team’s overall effort and a lot of individual players made improvement. We must continue that effort in the spring in order to improve as a team.” Stoops welcomes back 16 primary returning starters from last season, eight each on offense and defense. It’s the most returning starters for a Kentucky team in 14 years. And, as a byproduct of the team’s youth over the last two seasons, 39 returnees have started at least one game during their careers. Stoops is optimistic about the potential for progress as spring drills begin March 28 and end with the Blue/White Game on April 26. “I think we have a good foundation with the understanding of our base offense and defense,” Stoops said. “That should enable us to move more quickly than a year ago when everything was new to the players. It’s also important to continue to build our physical development, our toughness and our confidence.”

the highly successful offenses at Brown’s previous coaching stops. Much of the attention of the media and public during the spring will be focused on the quarterback position, where five players are contending for the starting role. Junior Jalen Whitlow has started 15 games over the last two seasons, throwing for 1,834 yards and eight touchdowns. Also a dual threat as a quick and elusive runner, he has rushed for 663 net yards and nine TDs. Sophomore Patrick Towles returns to the competition after redshirting last season. He threw for 233 yards and a touchdown as a freshman reserve in 2012. Freshman Reese Phillips showed good accuracy and poise in practice while redshirting last season. True freshman Drew Barker graduated from Conner High School (Burlington, Ky.) a semester early and enrolled in January. He completed 65.9 percent of his passes during his prep career, piling up 6,264 passing yards and 62 touchdowns. He also rushed for 3,931 yards and 51 TDs. Junior Maxwell Smith has started 11 games during his career, throwing for 3,070 yards and 21 touchdowns, but will sit out the spring while recovering from shoulder surgery. He is expected to return to the field in August. In 2013, the competition went down to the week of the first game before Whitlow was announced as the season-opening starter. The coaches hope to avoid that this time. “We won’t rush it just for the sake of naming a starter,” Stoops said, “but we’d like to reach a conclusion earlier than we did last season in order to help our timing between the starting quarterback and receivers.” The good news for whoever wins the Kentucky QB derby is that his corps of wide receivers returns virtually intact. The returning wideouts include seniors Javess Blue (43 catches for 586 yards and four touchdowns last season) and Demarco Robinson (20 for 213, including two TDs); juniors A.J. Legree (7 for 97) and Joey Herrick (3 for 22); and sophomores Ryan Timmons (32 for 338, 2 TDs), Jeff Badet (22 for 285, 1 TD) and Alexander Montgomery (16 for 137, 2 TDs). The group has shown big-play potential as Blue, Timmons and Badet each had plays of 50 yards or longer last season. Also in the mix will be true freshmen Thaddeus Snodgrass and T.V. Williams, explosive speedsters who graduated from high school in December and enrolled in January. Although the tight end position was hit hard by graduation, two players are available with significant game experience. Senior Ronnie Shields has caught 12 passes during his career and fellow senior Steven Borden caught three passes for 63 yards in 2013, his first season at UK transferring from junior college. There is excellent talent and depth at the running back position. Sophomore Jojo Kemp, who runs hard and showed a knack for breaking tackles, led the team in rushing last year with 482 yards and three touchdowns while averaging 4.8 yards per carry. The additional candidates at running back are intriguing. Braylon Heard is now eligible after sitting out 2013 as a transfer from Nebraska. The UK coaches raved about Heard’s ability during his transfer season. He rushed for 452 yards and a 5.9 average per carry during two seasons with the Cornhuskers. Another transfer, Demitrious Davis from the University of Pittsburgh, also has become eligible. The unknown factor is junior Josh Clemons, who has been out since the middle of 2011 season because of injuries. He rushed for 279 yards that year, combining speed, strength and the ability to make tacklers miss. A healthy return would be a big boost for the backfield. Coaches also will take a long look at another mid-year enrollee, freshman

O F F ENSE

Familiarity should be a big plus in the second year of the system implemented by offensive coordinator Neal Brown. Inexperience with the system, some good production with the running game, injuries and the team’s youth at the playmaking positions led Kentucky to have more running plays than passes last season. This year, Stoops and Brown hope to have more of the balance and play at the quicker tempo displayed by

Center Jon Toth earned SEC All-Freshman honors last season.

Mikel Horton. The 6-1, 236-pounder brings a reputation as a remarkable mix of size and speed. He also demonstrated pass catching skills in high school. Senior D.J. Warren is a capable fullback when the staff opts to use two-back sets and Jeff Witthuhn provides solid depth there. The good news up front is that four starting linemen return from last season. Senior Darrian Miller is a two-year starter at left tackle and has been a capable blindside protector. Junior Zach West also is a two-year regular at left guard. Two players stepped into the starting line last year, right tackle Jordan Swindle and center Jon Toth, both of whom earned praise from the coaches for their toughness and competitiveness. Additional returnees with some game experience include senior tackle Teven Eatmon-Nared, senior guard Max Godby, junior guard Jack Gruenschlaeger and sophomore center Zach Myers. Three promising redshirts will be competing as well, guard/center Nick Haynes, tackle Kyle Meadows and guard Ramsey Meyers.

Senior Alvin Davis, junior Farrington Huguenin and sophomore Jason Hatcher provide experienced depth. Hatcher, who had 19 tackles and a pair of sacks last season, backs up Dupree and also has the athleticism to play linebacker in the 3-4 scheme. There is optimism in rebuilding the tackles. Seniors Mike Douglas and Christian Coleman, along with junior-college transfers C.J. Johnson and Melvin Lewis, give the team some veteran presence. Douglas made 28 tackles last season, including 1.5 tackles for loss. Redshirt freshmen Regie Meant and Jacob Hyde provide more depth and competition. Junior Khalid Henderson is the top returnee at linebacker, having made 51 tackles last season. He also showed some big-play ability with three tackles for loss, a pass interception and two caused fumbles. Fellow senior TraVaughn Pascal showed good speed last season while racking up 39 tackles, including four for loss. However, he will sit out the spring while recovering from injury. Senior linebacker Miles Simpson hopes to regain the starting role he had in 2012 when he made 70 tackles that sesaon. Junior Josh Forrest made 16 stops last season and blocked two kicks on special teams. Senior Tyler Brause also has some game experience and freshman Dorian Hendrix, a mid-year enrollee, will get his chance to display the speed and tackling ability he demonstrated in high school. UK often played a 4-2-5 system last year, with versatile cornerback Blake McClain stepping into the nickelback role. He made 59 tackles last season and tied for the team lead in pass breakups with five. Safety Marcus McWilson also can play the nickel and he showed encouraging potential last season. The competition will be intense at cornerback. Senior Nate Willis and junior Fred Tiller are the returning starters. Willis tied for the team lead in pass breakups with five while Tiller had four PBU. Junior Cody Quinn has been a part-time starter during his career and had three breakups last season. Soph Jaleel Hytchye has good potential. A.J. Stamps had four interceptions and nine PBU last season while helping lead East Mississippi to the national junior-college championship. Pittsburgh transfer Chris Davis is now eligible. Seniors Ashely Lowery (46 tackles, one interception last season) and Eric Dixon (55 tackles) are returning starters at safety. Additional contenders include twin brothers Daron and Zack Blaylock, Glenn Faulkner and Josh Harris.

DE F ENSE

Heading into the spring, there is good news/bad news for the Kentucky defense. The difficult part of the equation is that defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot must replace the center of his defense from last season -- All-SEC middle linebacker Avery Williamson and starting tackles Donte Rumph and MIster Cobble. The good news, which the coaches are confident will more than balance the difficulty, is that eight starters and several additional lettermen are back. Anchoring UK’s 4-3 defense are senior defensive ends Bud Dupree and Za’Darius Smith, each of whom received all-conference mention last season. Dupree is UK’s leading returning tackler, having made 61 tackles last season. He also led the squad with 9.5 tackles for loss and seven quarterback sacks en route to second-team All-SEC honors. Dupree also has the athleticism necessary to play an outside linebacker post when the Wildcats switch to a 3-4 alignment. Smith totaled 59 tackles last season and was just behind Dupree in big plays, making 6.5 tackles for loss with six sacks. He received third-team All-SEC accolades.

S P E CI AL T E AM S

Much like offense and defense, there is a lot of experience available on special teams as there are returning starters at all specialist positions except placekicker. Junior Landon Foster has averaged 42 yards per punt during his two seasons as the starting punter. Long snapper Kelly Mason and holder Jared Leet have done a good job in their roles. Three kickers, none with game experience, will compete for the kickoff, field goal and extra point duties. Javess Blue and Demarco Robinson handled the majority of returns last season. Blue averaged 20.4 yards on kickoff returns and 2.9 yards on punt returns. Robinson averaged 25.6 on kickoff returns and 10.4 on punt returns.

Defensive end Alvin “Bud” Dupree is the team’s leading returning tackler from last season with 61 stops. The second-team All-SEC performer paced the Wildcats with 9.5 tackles for loss and seven quarterback sacks.

CAT SCRATCHES 16 ST AR TE R S R E TURN A total of 16 primary offensive and defensive starters from 2013 return for the Wildcats, eight each on offense and defense. That’s the most returning starters for UK in 14 years, since the 2000 season. On offense, UK has four starters back in the offensive line, along with quarterback Jalen Whitlow and wide receivers Javess Blue, Demarco Robinson and Ryan Timmons. There are eight returning regulars on defense, including ends Bud Dupree and Za’Darius Smith, linebacker Khalid Henderson and the entire secondary -cornerbacks Nate Willis and Fred Tiller along with safeties Ashely Lowery and Eric Dixon, plus cornerback/nickelback Blake McClain. A lot of young players have seen the field for UK in the last two seasons. UK has 51 returning lettermen -- in the normal range for that statistic -- but it is very interesting to note that 39 of those players have started at least one game on offense or defense during their careers.

AL L - SEC EN DS T U RN DO W N N F L Both of UK’s returning starters at defensive end -- Bud Dupree and Za’Darius Smith -- received All-Southeastern Conference honors last season. Dupree totaled 61 tackles while leading the team with 9.5 tackles for loss, including seven quarterback sacks. He also caused two fumbles and broke up a pass. He was a second-team all-league pick by The Associated Press and Phil Steele’s College Football. Smith made 59 stops. 6.5 for loss, featuring six sacks. He led the team in quarterback hurries with six, broke up one pass and recovered a fumble. He was a third-team all-conference pick by CollegeSportsMadness.com Both players went through the National Football League evaluation process but decided to come back to UK for their final campaigns. CL EMO N S, H EARD BO L ST ER BACKF I EL D Junior running backs Josh Clemons and Braylon Heard, who had to sit out the 2013 season, are eager to hit the practice field in the spring. Clemons has been out since midseason 2011 because of injuries. He showed great promise in the first half of 2011, rushing for 279 yards and two TDs. Heard, a transfer from Nebraska, rushed 77 times for 452 yards and a 5.9yard average for the Cornhuskers during the 2011 and ‘12 seasons. Along with sophomore Jojo Kemp, who led the Wildcats with 482 rushing yards last season, and true freshmen Mikel Horton and Stanley “Boom” Williams, UK will have a deep and talented backfield in the 2014 season.

PLEN TY O F C O NTE N D E RS A T QB The position likely to draw most of the media and public attention during the spring will be at quarterback as two juniors, a sophomore, a redshirt freshman and a true freshman are vying for the position. Junior Jalen Whitlow has started 15 games over the last two seasons, throwing for 1,834 yards and eight touchdowns. Also a quick and elusive runner, he has rushed for 663 net yards and nine TDs. Sophomore Patrick Towles is ready after redshirting last season. He threw for 233 yards and a touchdown as a freshman reserve in 2012. Freshman Reese Phillips showed good accuracy and poise in practice while redshirting last season. True freshman Drew Barker graduated from Conner High School (Burlington, Ky.) a semester early and enrolled in January. He completed 65.9 percent of his passes during his prep career, piling up 6,264 passing yards and 62 touchdowns. He also rushed for 3,931 yards and 51 TDs. Junior Maxwell Smith has started 11 games during his career, throwing for 3,070 yards and 21 touchdowns, but will sit out the spring while recovering from shoulder surgery. He will return to the competition in August.

ST ADI U M REN O V AT I O N U N DERW AY Construction has begun on the $110 million renovation of Commonwealth Stadium, a project that features a new look for the exterior of the stadium, wider and redesigned concourses, new concession stands and rest rooms, new suites and other premium seating, a recruiting room and a new press box. It’s a two-year project but there should be minimal disruption for the 2014 season. Part of the southside upper deck has been removed in order to begin the new suite/press box complex and there will be some utility and other site preparation work done this year. Seating capacity for the stadium will be approximately 65,000 for the upcoming campign. The majority of the construction will begin immediately after the last home game on Nov. 8. The reworked stadium is expected to be complete in time for the 2015 season. Meanwhile, UK also has begun planning for a $45 million football office/practice complex that will be built on the south end of the existing Nutter Field House. Construction of that facility is expected to commence in November, with completion targeted for 2016.

Freshman Jojo Kemp led the Wildcats in rushing last season, running for 482 yards, a 4.8yard average per carry, and three touchdowns.

UK LANDS CONSENSUS TOP-25 RECRUITING CLASS Coach Mark Stoops and his relentless staff brought home Kentucky’s highestrated class in the Internet era of recruiting evaluation, scoring a No. 17 ranking on Rivals.com, No. 20 by ESPN.com, No. 21 by Scout.com and No. 22 by 247Sports.com Fifteen members of the 28-man class received a four-star ranking in at least one of the above-mentioned services. Ten of the signees were listed at least once in the RIvals Top 250 players, the ESPN Top 300, the Scout Top 300 or the 247 Top 300. The national media took notice and were generous in praise of UK’s recruiting success. Here are some excerpts from what was written:

Nabbing four-star defensive lineman Matt Elam fom Alabama sent shockwaves through college football. It not only said that Kentucky was here to play; it’s here to play and win. – Alex Scarborough, ESPN.com Mark Stoops Makes Splash With 2014 Class Quietly, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops made an emphatic statement with his 2014 recruiting class: The Wildcats aren’t going to sit idly by and watch the big boy have all the fun … Stoops rubbed shoulders with the SEC’s best, signing 28 players, including six ESPN 300 members and eight four-stars. Stoops flipped a Florida State commit and beat out Alabama for a highly coveted defensive tackle. He snagged a top 10 quarterback and filled critical holes on both sides of the ball. – Edward Aschoff, ESPN.com

Can Kentucky Ride its Improved Recruiting to SEC Success? Stoops and his staff have not hesitated to compete against big-name programs on the recruiting trail. And Kentucky has won more than a few of those battles: The Wildcats beat out Louisville, Tennessee and South Carolina for Barker; Auburn, Clemson and LSU for all-purpose back Stanley Williams; and Alabama, Notre Dame and Ohio State for Elam. – Chris Johnson, Sports Illustrated

Signing Day: The Hot Fad in Recruiting is the Hand-Written Letter One day last April, Kentucky bombarded Matt Elam, a 340-pound tackle from Elizabethtown, Ky., with 69 letters. It followed up several months later with 182 letters. Not to be outdone, Notre Dame shipped Elam 270 letters in November, a postage ploy that Fighting Irish recruiters call a “pot of gold.” The outsize attention paid off for Kentucky last week when Elam—who said he received 50 letters on a normal day—chose the Wildcats over not only Notre Dame but also Alabama, which has won three of the last five national titles and is expected to land the nation’s top recruiting class this year. – Ben Cohen, Wall Street Journal

Kentucky -- yes Kentucky -- An SEC Presence in Recruiting “We’re definitely not afraid to compete with anybody in the country,” Stoops said. In a recruiting cycle that many coaches say featured rampant player poaching. Kentucky would have been a logical poaching victim. But the Wildcats locked up much of its class a year ago and didn’t lose traction. About sixteen of its 28 players committed before the end of last summer, Stoops said. – Jeremy Fowler, CBSSports.com

The Big 10’s Kentucky Problem These superlatives of each Big Ten recruiting class and more were discussed on BTN during the network’s Football Signing Day special. Left off the table was a matter of frank conversation of how badly programs in the Big Ten, excluding Michigan and Ohio State, were smoked on the recruiting trail by Kentucky of the SEC. Kentucky’s recruiting class would rank as the third best of the Big Ten, two spots behind Michigan for second-best. – ElevenWarriors.com

Most Impressive Classes in the SEC No. 2: Kentucky Rundown: This ain’t your grandfather’s Kentucky. It’s not your father’s or your older brother’s, either. Mark Stoops didn’t have the highest ranked recruiting class in the country or even the SEC, but the top-20 class far outpaced even the highest expectations . The signees speaks for themselves -- an infusion of young talent desperately needed for the road ahead -- but the overall statement Stoops and his staff made going out and landing the best of the best was huge.

Seven members of Kentucky’s 2014 signing class enrolled at Kentucky and will participate in spring practice, including (from left) C.J. Johnson, Dorian Hendrix, Mikel Horton, Drew Barker, A.J. Stamps, Thaddeus Snodgrass and T.V. Williams.

HEAD COACH

MARK STOOPS In his introductory news conference on Dec. 2, 2012, Mark Stoops promised the Big Blue Nation that he would “attack every day.” After a year on the job, it’s clear that Stoops is fulfilling that promise. The Kentucky head coach has been a bundle of energy, both on the field and on the recruiting trail, as he builds the UK program. Stoops began by hiring a set of coaches who averaged less than 38 years of age and mirrored his work ethic and enthusiasm. The staff has embraced coaching and recruiting with remarkable vigor. The results have been quickly eveident. With only two months to complete 2013 recruiting, Stoops and staff moved that signing class from the 60s in the national rankings to as high as No. 29. Then, with a full year available, Kentucky’s 2014 group was a consensus top-25 class, UK’s highest ranking ever in the Internet era of recruiting evaluation. Now, Stoops turns his attention to his second spring practice, where he will work to continue the turnaround of Wildcat on-field fortunes. Part of the acclaimed Stoops coaching family, he has a history of dramatic improvements during his time as defensive coordinator at Florida State and Arizona.

Stoops was defensive coordinator at FSU from 2010-12, inheriting a unit ranked 108th in the NCAA in total defense and turning it into one of the nation’s best. In the 2012 season, the Seminoles were second in the nation in total defense, allowing 254.1 yards per game, and sixth nationally in scoring defense at 14.7 points per game. Playing well against the run and the pass, FSU was third in the country in rushing defense and led the nation in pass defense. FSU led the ACC in seven defensive categories. Stoops also coached the defensive backs under head coach Jimbo Fisher. Eight Seminoles on defense earned 2012 AllACC honors, including four first-team selections, highlighted by one of the nation’s top defensive end duos in Bjoern Werner and Cornellius Carradine, who combined for 24 sacks and 31 tackles for loss. Werner was a finalist for the 2012 Bronko Nagurski Award as the National Defensive Player of the Year and was among the national leaders in sacks with 13. Stoops also coached cornerback Ronald Darby to ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year. The Seminoles’ prowess was a continuation of the 2011 season, when Stoops’ defenders led the nation in fewest yards allowed per carry (2.3), ranked fourth in the nation in total defense (275 yards per game), second in rushing defense (82.7 ypg), fourth in scoring defense (15.1 points per game), and eighth in tackles for loss (8.6 per game) and quarterback sacks (3.1 per game). FSU led the ACC in eight defensive categories. Stoops overhauled the Florida State defense in 2010, his first season as defensive coordinator. The Seminoles gave up 19.6 points per game, third-best

In their first full year on the recruiting trail, Mark Stoops and staff brought in UK’s first top-25 class in the Internet era of recruiting evaluation.

in the ACC and 20th nationally. FSU ranked 42nd nationally in total defense that season; in contrast, the team was 108th nationally in total defense and 94th in scoring defense in 2009, the year before Stoops’ arrival. FSU improved its overall defense by more than 80 yards per game, primarily by limiting opponents to 75 fewer rushing yards per game. The Seminoles ranked third in the nation in quarterback sacks and were 21st in tackles for loss. In the secondary, Stoops coached Xavier Rhodes to ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year honors and National Defensive Freshman of the Year accolades. During Stoops’ three seasons, FSU went 10-4, 9-4 and 12-2, including wins over South Carolina in the 2010 Chick-fil-A Bowl, Notre Dame in the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl and Northern Illinois in the 2013 Orange Bowl. Stoops was defensive coordinator and DBs coach at Arizona from 2004-09, working for his brother, Mike, who was head coach of the Wildcats. During Mark’s time there, Arizona’s records improved steadily, going 3-8, 3-8, 6-6, 5-7, 8-5 and 8-5. The Wildcats advanced to the Las Vegas Bowl and Holiday Bowl during the last two years. Mark and Mike are also brothers of Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops, with Mark being the youngest of the three. Mike is currently the defensive coordinator on Bob’s staff at Oklahoma. Stoops inherited an Arizona unit that was 109th in the nation in total defense and 107th in scoring defense in 2003, the year before he arrived. By the end of his term at Arizona, the Wildcats ranked in the nation’s top 25 in total defense his final two seasons and ranked as high as 33rd in scoring defense. Prior to Arizona, Stoops coached the defensive backs three years at Miami (Fla.). The 2001 national champion Hurricanes led the nation in pass efficiency defense, scoring defense and turnover margin. That team also established a school record with 27 interceptions and 45 total takeaways. Stoops’ 2002 secondary led the nation in pass defense and pass efficiency defense. Despite having to replace all four starters in the defensive backfield, the 2003 team led the nation in pass defense. In his three seasons, Miami went 35-3, including the 12-0 Rose Bowl title campaign, plus appearances in the Fiesta and Orange bowls. Ten Miami defensive backs who played at least one season under Stoops were eventually selected in the National Football League draft – seven in the first round. Stoops got his first experience in leading a defense as co-defensive coordinator at Houston in the 2000 season. He coached the secondary at Wyoming from 1997-99 and the Cowboys notched three straight winning seasons. A highlight of his time there was a school-record 24 interceptions in the ’97 season. His first full-time coaching job was in 1996 at South Florida, helping USF in the start-up of its

program before the Bulls had their first kickoff in ’97. Stoops has recruited and developed numerous outstanding defensive backs, many of whom went on to National Football League careers. Among the notables are Antoine Cason and Michael Johnson at Arizona, Miami’s Philip Buchanon, Kelly Jennings, Brandon Meriweather, Ed Reed, Antrel Rolle, Mike Rumph and Sean Taylor and Wyoming’s Brian Lee. Stoops was raised in Youngstown, Ohio. Like his brothers, Mark played in the secondary at the

University of Iowa for Hall of Fame coach Hayden Fry. He participated in four bowl games as a player. Fry hired Stoops as a graduate assistant coach at Iowa in the 1990 and ’91 seasons. The Hawkeyes won the 1990 Big Ten title and played in the Rose Bowl, duplicating feats Stoops also achieved as a player. Stoops went on to coach four years in high school before entering the collegiate ranks. Stoops and his wife, Chantel, have two sons, Will and Zack.

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR KENTUCKY FOOTBALL Kentucky is in the process of $155 million of football facility construction. Shown here are artist renderings of Commonwealth Stadium, which will feature a $110 million renovation in time for the 2015 season. UK also will construct a new $45 million football complex, including practice, office and support facilities.

Among the young Wildcats who will enjoy UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new football facilities are defensive back Blake McClain and wide receiver Ryan Timmons. McClain had 59 tackles and five pass breakups last season. Timmons was second on the team in receiving with 32 catches for 338 yards and two touchdowns.

Javess Blue led the Wildcats in receiving in 2013 with 43 catches for 586 yards and four touchdowns. Safety Ashely Lowery totaled 46 tackles, three pass breakups and a pass interception a year ago.

Defensive end Zaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Darius Smith showed good pass-rush ability last season with six quarterback sacks among his 59 total tackles. 66
