The Kentucky football coaching staff has had no turnover this off season, at least until today. As first reported by Football Scoop, Kentucky’s director of recruiting, EK Franks, will be leaving Lexington to join the athletic department at Troy.

Franks signed onto Mark Stoops’ staff in August of 2018, and has re-signed less than five months later. He did serve the Wildcats for a full season, and recruiting is as good in Lexington as it has ever been.

Before coming to Kentucky, Franks worked as the director of player personnel at both Arkansas and Florida, and has coached at several other major programs.
