Speedy special teams guru Moushey helping Kentucky football flip the field

Charles Moushey clearly had a prominent place on Eastern Michigan’s scouting report.

The Eagles razzed and harassed Kentucky’s senior up and down Kroger Field last week.

Who? What? Why? All are natural questions about a UK wide receiver that has never caught a pass.

And yet there was Moushey drawing a double-team on kickoffs on Saturday and a double-team on punts, too.

“People are trying to get him contained,” Cats special teams coach Dean Hood said of the 6-foot, 180-pound walk-on from Westerville, Ohio.

With good reason.

After amassing just two tackles last season on special teams, Moushey has emerged as a special teams star this season, charting six tackles in the first five games, including two of them inside opponents’ 20-yard line.
