A pair of former Wildcats will team up once again — this time in the professional ranks.
On Tuesday, the XFL announced that Kentucky football defensive back Tyrell Ajian has been claimed by the Arlington Renegades after going unselected in the NFL Draft and the XFL’s Rookie Draft, the latter having taken place on Friday, June 20. Ajian, who was one of 44 players claimed, spent six seasons at UK before heading off to the next level where he will join another former ‘Cat on the Renegades in linebacker Jordan Wright, who was selected by Arlington in the Rookie Draft.
