National Signing Day Terms

Prepare for an onslaught of National Signing Day coverage from Kentucky Sports Radio. For the next few days, you’ll hear several hacks describe and analyze the newest Kentucky Wildcats. I thought we could break down evaluation terms so that we’ll all be on the same page come go-time.

Mauler: Term used to describe a physically tough offensive lineman with the size-mentality-ability to forcefully run block along the line-of-scrimmage.

Thumper: A hard hitting linebacker.

Navigate Wash: Ability for offensive/defensive linemen to work their way around other players within the line-of-scrimmage in order to execute assignments.
