Kentucky Adjusts to the Absence of Vito Tisdale

There’s no sugar-coating it. The loss of Vito Tisdale is significant for this Kentucky football team.

“It’s definitely a big loss for our team and especially for Vito, because he’s a very good, a very active, versatile football player,” Mark Stoops said Thursday morning.

Sources told KSR Tisdale suffered a torn ACL and meniscus during an early spring practice. Kentucky’s head coach believes it will sideline the former four-star recruit for the entire 2022 season. The Bowling Green native will undergo surgery once the swelling decreases in the coming days and weeks.
