With Chris Rodriguez off to the NFL after being drafted by the Washington Commanders, Kentucky is still searching for a clear-cut RB1 ahead of the 2023 season. While none of the current running backs on the Wildcats’ roster appear to have the talent that C-Rod blessed Kroger Field with for years, there are a handful of reliable options in the backfield for offensive coordinator Liam Coen to roll out.
Most notably, Kentucky dipped into the transfer portal this offseason for Vanderbilt running back Ray Davis, who rattled off over 1,000 rushing yards with the Commodores in 2022, including a 129-yard performance in a win over his new team.
