Ten days away from football. It’s the longest the team has been away from the game since last summer, receiving just a week off after the bowl game.
The players used the time to go home and reset. Freshman wide receiver Clevan Thomas thought he hated the cold weather in Lexington, until he was reminded of the Miami heat. Veteran receivers Jabari Greenwood and Blake Bone used the week to catch up with a former teammate, Los Angeles Ram Josh Forrest. The two enjoyed their time, but Greenwood said it felt weird being away from football for so long.
