Earlier today, Kentucky running back Chris Rodriguez announced he will sit out of Kentucky’s upcoming Music City Bowl appearance, thus ending his time in UK’s backfield. A fifth-year senior, Rodriguez graduates from the Kentucky Football program ranked third all-time in career rushing yards, only 229 yards shy of matching the school record of 3,873 yards, set by the star running back he replaced, Benny Snell.
Rodriguez thanked the fans in his parting message as he steps away to rest up and heal before chasing his dreams of playing in the National Football League.
