Since Mark Stoops’ arrival, four Kentucky quarterbacks have transferred. Starting with Maxwell Smith and Jalen Whitlow, Patrick Towles, and now Reece Phillips later followed suit.
Concerning? Yes. But in 2015/16, quarterbacks on the move are about as newsworthy as what I had for supper. With no intention to magnify or disrespect departing players, in today’s college football environment, quarterbacks play or find a new home. Grass was greener for both Smith and Whitlow as the pair found post-UK success. As for Towles and Phillips, time will tell.
So, what does this mean for the 2016 Wildcats?
