Chip Trayanum out vs. South Carolina
Saturday night was a wild one at Kroger Field, but despite the delays, the Kentucky Wildcats won 31-0 over Southern Miss.
The offense looked solid in Bush Hamdan’s first game as the UK offensive coordinator, but the Cats will now face a step-up in talent as they prepare for a matchup with South Carolina on Saturday afternoon.
One of the big questions heading into Saturday’s game is the availability of Ohio State transfer running back Chip Trayanum. According to Mark Stoops, the running back will miss the game against the Gamecocks. He announced the news Monday night on his call-in radio show.
Trayanum is still recovering from a broken hand he suffered in fall camp.
Against Southern Miss, the Cats featured a handful of running backs, including Demie Sumo-Karngbaye, Jason Patterson, and Jamarion Wilcox.
The Cats totaled 148 yards on 24 rushes against the Golden Eagles while also adding a touchdown on the ground from Sumo-Karngbaye.
The Gamecocks will come to Lexington looking to make a statement after a poor performance against Old Dominion in Columbia this past Saturday. However, their run defense was pretty stout, as they only gave up 3.2 yards per attempt on the ground.
Alongside the group of running backs, the BBN can expect to see plenty of designed QB runs again as the Kentucky OC looks to feature Brock Vandagriff’s running skills.
Should be an interesting matchup this Saturday at Kroger Field.

Sickle Cell Day gathers advocates at South Carolina State House
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) — Advocates, caregivers, patients, and community leaders gathered at the South Carolina State House on Friday for the inaugural South Carolina Sickle Cell Day.
Organizers said the event focused on raising awareness of sickle cell disease.
The South Carolina CBO Collective Caucus hosted the event at 10 a.m., coinciding with World Sickle Cell Day and Juneteenth.
Organizers said the gathering brought together healthcare professionals, legislators, advocates, and supporters from across the state to discuss education, support, and action related to sickle cell disease.
The program is designed to amplify the voices of individuals and families impacted by the disease and encourage conversations about healthcare access, advocacy, research, and community support, organizers said.
Attendees heard personal stories and learned about challenges faced by those living with sickle cell disease.
“World Sickle Cell Day is a powerful call to action for all of us,” said founder and CEO of The B Strong Group Brenda Green. She said the collaboration expands support, strengthens community response, and stands with affected families.
The B Strong Group, founded in 2017 and based in Columbia, is a nonprofit organization focused on sickle cell awareness, advocacy, and caregiver support.
The group organizes blood drives, caregiver workshops, and awareness campaigns under the motto “Educate, Advocate, Empower.”

87-year-old South Carolina businessman says he has no plans to retire
An 87-year-old businessman in Columbia, South Carolina says he has no plans to retire.
Leonard Fabrizio works as a retailer at Brittons of Columbia, a locally-owned men’s clothing store.
“I’m not the type of person who can sit around by myself,” said Fabrizio. “I just enjoy the interaction and that’s the big thing, is the interaction with people. It’s always been the drive in this business for me, said Fabrizio.
Fabrizio’s retail career began as a college student when he worked at J.C. Penney. He has watched Columbia grow and has owned a store and managed several others.
His advice is to “Be patient. It takes time to build a business. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it’s rewarding. It’s fun. But you have to have compassion for the business.”
Fabrizio recently celebrated another birthday alongside those who have supported his career.
