LEXINGTON — College football reality found Tae Tae Crumes long before preseason practice started at Kentucky

"That weight room hit me," Crumes said. "When we went in there, all the things we did, I was not expecting it. But I came in, and I'm handling business. ... I'm not the biggest guy, but I'm definitely not weak. I was trying to get stronger and keep my speed at the same time."

Listed at 6-foot-2, 171 pounds, Crumes worked during the offseason to be able to withstand the physical demands of his first preseason camp with Kentucky's team.
