Kentucky Football Player Profile: C.J. Conrad ready to end UK career with a bang

Typically, when a player is considered among the best at his position nationally, that player has lots of expectations and hype surrounding him.

C.J. Conrad has neither. That might be a good thing for the Kentucky football program.

Position: Tight end

Measurements: 6’5”, 245 lbs

Class: Senior

Hometown: LaGrange, OH

School: Keystone

Recruit Rankings: No. 9 tight end in 2015 class

For many folks—myself included—Conrad’s skill set was not properly utilized during the 2017 season. Playing in only the first eight games of the season due to injury, his fourteen catches were a career-low—although he has yet to catch more than nineteen in any of his three seasons.
