Coming off a season in which Kentucky football’s pass defense ranked top-10 nationally, assistant coach Chris Collins has earned himself a new contract with the Wildcats.
Collins, who has been Kentucky’s defensive backs coach since June 2021, recently agreed to a two-year deal to stay in Lexington. The contract was agreed upon by Collins and UK earlier this month and will run from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025, according to UK’s Office of Legal Counsel.
Collins will earn $375,000 in the first year of this new deal with a slight raise to $400,000 in year two.
