Kentucky Freshman Receiver Kenny Darby Signs With Nike, 13 Catches From the School Record
Kentucky freshman wide receiver Kenny Darby has signed with Nike and joined the Nike football family, sports outlet On3 reported on November 3. The University of Kentucky is in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky. Darby has played eight games this season, catching 38 passes for 507 yards and three touchdowns, and has become a key part of the Wildcats' offense. His signature performance came on October 3 against South Carolina, when he caught 12 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown in a 35-34 overtime win.
Kentucky is off to a 7-1 start and ranks No. 8 in the Associated Press poll; under first-year head coach Will Stein, the team is chasing its first-ever College Football Playoff berth. Darby is 13 catches and 122 yards away from Kentucky's freshman receiving records, with four regular-season games remaining against Tennessee, Florida, Missouri and Louisville. The university said team morale is high and the coaching staff wants its young players to stay focused in high-intensity games, treating every contest as a key step toward a playoff spot.
