Kenny Darby Shines as Kentucky's Freshman Star | Kentucky Wildcats Football News

Kenny Darby, Kentucky’s newest freshman receiver, is already blowing up the college football world—named to the 247 Sports Preseason True Freshman All-America Team, one of just three receivers to earn it. A four-star recruit from Louisiana, he’s a six-foot-one, 180-pound elite separator with explosive playmaking ability. Before college, he dominated high school: 83 catches, 1,100+ yards, 8 TDs, plus 600 rushing yards and 9 scores as a senior. Coach Will Stein, who recruited him first after taking the job, calls him “super talented.” Darby’s hype is real—and he’ll get his first chance to shine when Kentucky opens the season against Youngstown State on September 5 at 1 PM ET on SEC Network Plus.
