The Kentucky Wildcats’ running back room added more depth and veteran leadership for the 2023 season.
Ramon Jefferson was expected to see the field a lot in 2022, but unfortunately, he tore his ACL on his second carry of the year.
On Tuesday, it was reported by Kentucky Sports Radio that Jefferson has been granted a seventh year of eligibility from the NCAA.
At the FCS level in 2021, Jefferson earned All-American honors after rushing for 1,155 yards and 13 touchdowns for Sam Houston State, leading them to the FCS Championship.
Jefferson also has a history with Kentucky’s offensive coordinator Liam Coen, as he was the OC at Maine back in 2017 when Jefferson was there as a freshman.
