The Kentucky tight ends will be off the bus first on game days

As valuable as CJ Conrad was to the Kentucky football program over the last four years both on and off the field, the Wildcats might somehow be even better at the tight end position moving forward.

And the UK coaching staff certainly wants the world to know it.

Kentucky associate head coach and tight ends guru Vince Marrow has been singing Justin Rigg’s praises from the time he first set foot on campus in 2016, saying on multiple occasions on Kentucky Sports Radio that he believes the 6-foot-6 junior can be even more productive than Conrad, who started 42 of 49 career games at Kentucky, next season.
