Mark Stoops hired White to coach Kentucky’s outside linebackers after the Dean Hood prodigy spent six years with the Indianapolis Colts. In 2019 he was promoted to defensive coordinator. Despite losing Josh Allen and five starters in the secondary, Kentucky’s pass defense ranks fourth in FBS, allowing the fewest passing touchdowns in the nation.
A hot commodity in the coaching market, Mark Stoops is retaining one of his team’s most important pieces ahead of what could be an historic defensive season at UK in 2020.
