With the upcoming game between the Kentucky Wildcats and EKU Colonels happening on Saturday, there are some staff members on EKU who share a connection to Kentucky.
Walt Wells, who is currently the EKU head coach, was a quality control analyst for two seasons at UK, while being coached by Mark Stoops. The other two staff members making a return to Lexington are Maxwell Smith and C.J. Conrad.
During Wells’ time at Kentucky, he helped both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Offensive line coach John Schlarman was battling a deadly form of cancer, and Wells would step in and help with the line when Schlarman couldn’t.
