Kentucky Wildcats Ranking: 28/134

[Check out RJ Young’s ultimate 134 college football rankings here]

Conference ranking: 10th in SEC (+10000 to win conference)
Teams ahead of them: Wisconsin (27), Miami (26), Iowa State (25), Iowa (24), Arizona (23)
Teams behind them: Arkansas (29), North Carolina State (30), Nebraska (31), SMU (32), Maryland (33)

[Kentucky 2024 schedule]

RJ’s take: Start with this: Mark Stoops has put the Wildcats into eight straight bowl games. If they make a ninth straight postseason appearance, defensive lineman Deone Walker will likely have quite a bit to do with it.

Walker, who was named a team captain as a sophomore, enters 2024 with a chance to end the year as a bona fide first-round NFL Draft selection. At 6-foot-6, 348 pounds, he led the team in tackles for loss (12.5) and sacks (7.5) in 2023. Teams won’t double-team him as often, with former Georgia linebacker and two-time national champion Jamon Dumas-Johnson joining UK through the portal.

The jewel in Stoops’ 2024 transfer class has to be former five-star and UGA backup Brock Vandagriff, who could be the Wildcats’ most talented quarterback since Tim Couch, still the only 4,000-yard passer in UK history.

Maxwell Hairston was an “All-Slept-On” player in 2023, recording 68 tackles, five picks, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble from his cornerback position.

And then there’s Barion Brown, who can flat out fly with the ball in his hands. He not only led Kentucky with 43 catches for 539 yards last season, but also returned three kickoffs for TDs and led the nation in return yards per kick at a whopping 36 yards on average.

Kentucky Win Total Odds: Over 6.5 (-115) Under 6.5 (-105)

Beechwood’s Tyler Fryman commits to the Kentucky Wildcats

Beechwood senior wide receiver Tyler Fryman has committed to University of Kentucky football and baseball according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.

Fryman made the change to the Wildcats on June 26, just three days after announcing he was decommitting from Louisville Cardinals baseball. Fryman had been committed to Louisville since 2023.

The four-star recruit took an official visit to Kentucky on June 19. A week later, he’s flipped his school and added a new sport.

For Beechwood last season, Fryman caught 62 passes for 1,320 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was also the 9th Region Player of the Year in baseball and an indoor track state champion.

Fryman also had football offers from Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Ole Miss among others.

They say search efforts are focused on the water at this time and include Kentucky State Police aerial support, drones, boats, and K9 assistance.

Crews suspend search for missing teen for the night

The search is now into its third day, with officials saying on and off rain has hindered their search and that a group of 50 volunteers are walking the banks of the lake to help in the search.

Search and rescue boats have been seen at the lake as well.

Officials say there are still many questions, including if Kinney is still alive and where exactly she went missing.

They also say they’ve been using a variety of equipment, including sonar and thermal detectors, as well as helicopters and underwater drones.

WSAZ received a statement from Kinney’s family Friday afternoon:

“We are very appreciative of the absolute surplus of support from law enforcement, search and rescue, 1st responders, and all of the community and its volunteers that are here with us and for us searching for Marly. We do not even know how to express our absolute gratitude to you all. We continue to have faith she will be found and brought back to us. We know we have the very best people doing all they can to bring her home.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

We are still working to get more information.
