In the middle of it all, Drake Jackson fortifies the offensive line. As soon as the fourth-year center snaps the ball, he takes a lick from Quinton Bohanna. Clashes between the two are turning heads at the Joe Craft Football Training Facility.
“Drake’s playing good, but he’s got his hands full with Quinton,” Mark Stoops said after UK’s tenth spring practice. “Quinton is really playing some good football. He’s taking it to another level. He’s hard to handle.”
Jackson has become a staple of Kentucky’s offensive line as the starting center over the last two seasons. Even though he’s had plenty of success, nothing comes easily at spring practice.
