It’s a new year and a brand new edition of the KSR Football Podcast. We’re trading a punter for an NFL defensive back.

Former Wildcat Van Hiles is joining the KSR Football Podcast for the 2025 season. Not only is he locked into everything happening with Mark Stoops’ program, there aren’t many better teachers when it comes to the game of football. With Van’s help, this year we will make our audience smarter, and that’s a first in the 11-year history of this show.

Today we’re discussing what we learned from Mark Stoops’ first game week press conference of the 2025 season, what we learned about the Wildcats during fall camp, and picking Van’s brain about this year’s team. It’s going to be an electric factory. Lock in for a new season of the KSR Football Podcast.
