Scott Padgett of the Kentucky Wildcats
Scott Padgett’s son Lucas is a Wildcat… on the gridiron.
Kentucky Football usually doesn’t make news when commitments from preferred walk-ons come rolling in, except if it’s the case that their father is Kentucky Wildcat legend on the basketball court. Scott Padgett‘s son Lucas Padgett announced last week of his intent to be a Kentucky Wildcat on the football field as a preferred walk-on.
Padgett was a second-team all-state center at Homewood High School in Alabama where he last played football but hasn’t got to play since moving to New Mexico after his father took an assistant head coaching position at New Mexico State after being fired by Samford in the spring of 2020.
