Former Oregon standout and analyst Dallas Warmack to join Kentucky coaching staff
Will Stein continues to impress the college football world since taking over the helm as Kentucky Football’s head coach a few weeks ago.
It’s not only signing talented players that’s catching eyes; Stein is also perfecting his recruiting pitch to lure other coaches away from their current programs to work alongside him in Lexington.
On Sunday, Pete Nakos broke news that former Oregon Ducks standout Dallas Warmack would be joining Stein on the sidelines as an assistant offensive line coach. Warmack was a top player in the class of 2015, committing to Alabama, where he’d play three seasons before transferring to Oregon.
As a Duck, he started 24 of 26 games and earned Pac-12 Third-Team honors as a senior in 2019. After college, Warmack bounced around professionally, including playing in the XFL before transitioning into an analyst role on the Ducks’ staff.
This marks now the third coach who will be in charge of revamping and maintaining UK’s Big Blue Wall. Cutter Leftwich will lead the position group while Warmack and Derek Warehime will contribute in supporting roles.
Shoring up the offensive line is something that’s clearly been a priority for Will Stein and his staff. There’s now no dodging around the fact that there will be no shortage of fingers to point should things not go as planned. The talent is in place with proven mentors to surround them with.
It’s also worth noting that Oregon had a stellar offensive line that competed to be one of the nation’s best during Will Stein’s tenure with the Ducks. If he can replicate that kind of execution in the SEC, then the Cats will already be a leg up from where they were a season ago. If nothing else, it will be refreshing to see a polished unit that looks organized and avoids penalties.
Welcome to Lexington, Coach Warmack.

The Brooklyn Nets have developed their teams through a number of strategies over the decades, and their front office has put together considerable success through the NBA draft. Many of the franchise’s best players have joined the Nets either by being selected directly in the annual draft or through trades made on that day.
Moreover, it is not only the star players who have been acquired by the Nets through the draft. Several prominent alumni have been selected by the team each offseason during this annual event, with certain colleges being more prominently represented than others. An analysis of the players from different schools reveals that both prestigious programs and smaller institutions have contributed top talent to the Nets’ roster over the years.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at every player who has been drafted by the Nets out of Kentucky State University.
