Learn these names - Spring football edition

Chip Cosby lets us know some of the new names stepping it up in Kentucky's spring practices. Whether its due to new opportunities, a change of position, or simply new to the UK roster, these seven players have a chance to become a household name to UK fans by the end of 2009. The list includes five defensive players and two offensive players.

  1. Danny Trevathan - linebacker - freak athlete, coaches love his progression.
  2. Winston Guy - safety/cornerback - freak athlete, has an opportunity to start at safety.
  3. Randell Burden - cornerback - breakout game in Liberty Bowl, will start opposite Lindley.
  4. Mark Crawford - defensive tackle - JUCO transfer, great attitude, filling Myron Pryor's big shoes.
  5. Collins Ukwu - defensive end - very raw, has enough athletic ability to be great SEC defensive end.
  6. Stuart Hines - offensive line - coaches love what they see, will provide depth at offensive line.
  7. E.J. Fields - wide receiver - great receiver build, just needs reps with first team offense.

Hopefully this wets your appetite as the Dog Days of Summer approach and the fact basketball won't start until mid-October. Give me some ideas on what to cover during these summer months. Email me a commentary on something if you'd like to see your name in print.
