CJ Conrad was a fan favorite during his time as a Kentucky Wildcat, and even more so after joining the UK Football coaching staff.
But it looks like Conrad is ready to take the next step in his coaching career.
Conrad will be leaving his job as a quality control assistant on the UK staff to take on a new role not far from Lexington as he joins the Eastern Kentucky University staff as the tight ends coach.
The announcement came Thursday morning with EKU Coach Walt Wells saying he was excited to welcome Conrad to the Colonels’ staff.
