Kentucky Extends Offer to John Schlarman’s Son

Mark Stoops is doing what he can to make sure there’s a Schlarman on the Kentucky sidelines for years to come.

While John Schlarman is fighting the hell out of cancer off the field, the son of Kentucky’s offensive line coach, Joe, is doing work on the high school football field for Lexington Catholic. Wearing his father’s No. 65 on the offensive line, he just finished up his freshman season with the Knights.

As the proud father patted his son on the back for a job well done, UK’s head coach ensured Joe Schlarman will always have a spot on the Kentucky football team.
