75th Anniversary All-America Team today, we didn’t expect to find any Kentucky Wildcats on the list. That’s 75 years of college football. So many great players to choose from. Wildcat? No way.
But there he is: Derek Abney, Third-Team Return Specialist.
Abney played at Kentucky from 2000-03. He caught 197 passes for 2,339 yards and 18 touchdowns as a wide receiver, and added eight touchdowns in the return game over his career. He took two kickoffs and six punts, making him one of the most exciting players to watch in UK history.
