The countdown to the 2022 Kentucky football season has reached an iconic number, John Schlarman’s No. 65.
A man of the Commonwealth, Schlarman starred for Ft. Thomas Highlands’ 1993 AAA State Championship team, then rocked the Power K for four years in Lexington. As a true freshman he started, helping the Wildcats win the first ever Battle for the Governor’s Cup. By his senior season the left guard was a first team All-SEC selection.
Following his playing days he immediately got into coaching, first in the Kentucky high school ranks. Schlarman spent three years as an offensive line GA on the UK sideline from 2000-02.
