Plagued by injury last season, two UK wide receivers are now fully recovered and ready to make an immediate impact for the Cats in 2015.

Redshirt sophomores Jeff Badet and Alexander Montgomery were forced to watch UK from the sidelines in 2014, after Badet suffered a broken leg in spring practice and Montgomery tore his ACL after celebrating a touchdown against Alabama State in Nov. 2013.

Both battled many setbacks on the road to recovery, and sat out longer than expected. However, the two redshirt-sophomores are now “100 percent” and anxious to get back on the gridiron.
