Hi there. Face here. Shout out to all of the 90s Nickelodeon kids who get the reference and have the patience to withstand an obscure intro as we kick off the dust from a late night basketball tip-off. We postponed this week’s 11 Personnel to Thursday, but there are still some Kentucky football stories that must be discussed.

Tre’Von Morgan to Miami (Ohio)

A former Wildcat will make his Kroger Field debut in the opening week of the season. Tre’Von Morgan, a 6-foot-6 wide receiver from Massillon, Oh., only spent one season at UK after transferring from Michigan State. Hampered by a lingering hamstring injury in the preseason, Kentucky put an emphasis on speed over size at receiver, leading Morgan to take his career in a new direction at Miami University.

Jamin Davis Jersey Retirement

The former Kentucky linebacker will have his No. 25 jersey hanging from the rafters at Long County High School in South Georgia following a Friday night ceremony. According to WJCL, Davis will also receive a key to the city of Ludowici from the town’s mayor. It’s an awesome honor for the former first round pick that had 76 tackles and eight starts in his rookie season for the Washington Football Team.

Kentucky Offers Arch Manning’s Tight End

Mark Stoops’ Kentucky football coaching staff is handing out a ton of offers this month. The latest is to Will Randle, a 6-foot-4 tight end that catches passes from the most talked about college football recruit on the planet, Arch Manning. A Top 500, three-star 2023 prospect, Randle already has offers from LSU, Texas and Alabama.

Big Dog on the Road

Vince Marrow was in the greater Cincinnati area recruiting a school fans should be familiar with, Winton Woods. Mike Edwards and Chris Oats’ alma mater, Marrow recently offered two players from the school, 2025 offensive tackle Raphael Greene and 2023 cornerback Jermaine Mathews. While watching the basketball team in action, the Big Dog ran into Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi.

A Wildcat Follows Sumrall to Troy

Brayden Berezowitz will be Troy’s director of player personnel next fall. A former walk-on for the Wildcats, he spent the last three seasons on Stoops’ staff as a graduate assistant.

“Brayden was with me for three years at Kentucky and is going to be an asset to the Troy Football program in every way,” Sumrall said. “He has a great eye for talent and is a tremendous evaluator when it comes to identifying and targeting guys on the recruiting trail. I am really impressed with Brayden’s ability to connect with the student-athletes and invest in their lives.”

Anybody Else Think Will Levis is Josh Allen Lite?

Will Levis has a rocket arm and runs angry. Josh Allen’s rocket arm nearly got the Bills to the AFC Championship. Of course, the UK quarterback is not making throws like one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but he does have some eerily similar runs.

Sunday night Allen lowered his shoulder on third down, sending the Chiefs’ Charvarius Ward to the sideline with an injury.

I recall a time in 2021 where Levis lowered his shoulder on a third down run to send Blaze Allredge backwards.

Earlier in the season Allen went to the air to get by a Kansas City defender.

Chris Rodriguez envies Levis’ leaping ability.

I’m not saying Will Levis is the next Josh Allen, but I’m not not saying it.
