Momentum around UK football right now is at an all-time high, with many fans and media analysts expecting the Wildcats to win anywhere from seven to nine games next season. Kentucky returns the majority of starters next year, there is (finally) some consistency from the offensive coordinator position, depth continues to grow stronger, etc.
One of the main reasons for excitement? The expected growth of UK junior tight end CJ Conrad.
If you ask TeamSpeedKills.com of SB Nation, Conrad is due for a Jacob Tamme-esque breakout year for the Wildcats this season.
As you all well know, one of the most reliable pass-catchers in recent Kentucky football memory comes from 6’3 tight end and Danville, KY native Jacob Tamme.
