Three true freshmen will be playing the rest of the season for Kentucky because they’ve already participated in too many games to redshirt in 2018.
One, Chris Oats, will be an important contributor early at Texas A&M this weekend as starting middle linebacker Kash Daniel sits for a half after a targeting penalty against South Carolina.
Oats and redshirt freshman Jamin Davis will combine to fill Daniel’s spot until he can return after halftime.
When asked about coaching up freshmen on the road at a place like Texas A&M, Stoops laughed.
