The secondary was a huge question mark for Kentucky entering the 2022 season. Transfer additions were added to help bolster the position, but development was needed with the personnel on the roster.
Carrington Valentine has improved at cornerback, and Jordan Lovett has become a quality starter at free safety as a redshirt freshman. Quietly, Andru Phillips was another young player that needed to make a jump.
The redshirt sophomore out of Mauldin (S.C.) High has become Kentucky’s top slot cornerback and is playing some good football for defensive coordinator Brad White.
