Who knew former two-star recruit Josh Allen would become a program changer and lead a stout Kentucky defense?
Mark Stoops and his staff, that’s who. Back in 2015, Allen was headed to Monmouth, a university not even playing in the FBS until Stoops and Co. swooped in and took a chance on a two-star kid from New Jersey.
And after four years, that faith has paid massive dividends. You just can’t say enough about what Josh Allen has done for this Kentucky defense: 84 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss (tied for 10th in the FBS), 14 sacks (4th in the FBS), and 5 fumbles forced (tied for 1st).
