Seneca Driver

Plenty of room then for Driver and JaHyde Brown.

Brown is not going to UK. Would take a massive change of heart and there are zero signs of that.

Hall is very possible.

 

[JakeKx]

Stein will be good enough at recruiting that he won’t have to beg players to come. So you either want to be a cat or you don’t as an instate player. Either way you can come here or we will find somebody just as good or better.

I believe his dad played for UK. Uncle played at ND.

I heard before the Bama game that many outlets believed he was visiting but they may have had bad information because he never showed up.

 

[DudahUK]

also, dude has to have one of the best football names ever.

 

[DudahUK]

He was a great player and might be a great coach but he coaches in a offense.

Oh for sure. Not taking anything away from him as a player. Still, lol.

I think the easier thing to do would be offer Witten a job...... Two for one.

Justin Burke is doing a great job so far. And he has ties with Stein. Don’t wanna ruin that chemistry.

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

I think we continue to send a message and do zero extra to get him. Every te in the nation will want to play here. We will do at least as well if not better.

In state recruits need to hop on board when they are offered. Send a message.

Hope he takes note that Kentucky has the #1 Tight End Production in the country at this point. Why would he want to go all the way to Oklahoma when he can play in front of friends and relatives in a leading tight end offense for an up and coming team? Come on people in Danville. Talk some sense into this young man. We need him!

That UK vs. Oklahoma game could really turn the tide, IMO. Especially if UK wins, and our TE have an epic performance while Oklahoma's have a meh day. We really need to pony up the $$$ to match the OKies offer.

Through three games of the 2026 season (as of Sept. 20), Kentucky’s tight ends have more receptions and receiving yards than Oklahoma’s.

Per espn.com
Tight ends receptions (“catches made”) and receiving yards (yards gained on those catches). Both teams are 2-1.

Kentucky Wildcats TEs

• Willie Rodriguez: 15 rec, 119 yds, 7.9 avg, 1 TD
• Henry Boyer: 4 rec, 86 yds, 21.5 avg, 2 TD
• Mikkel Skinner: 5 rec, 68 yds, 13.6 avg, 1 TD

Kentucky Team TE totals: 24 receptions, 273 yards, 4 TDs.


Rodriguez has been the high-volume option. Boyer and Skinner have been more efficient with higher yards per catch and multiple scores.

Oklahoma Sooners TEs

• Rocky Beers: 10 rec, 171 yds, 17.1 avg, 1 TD
• Hayden Hansen: 4 rec, 64 yds, 16.0 avg, 1 TD

Team TE totals: 14 receptions, 235 yards, 2 TDs.


Beers has been Oklahoma’s most productive tight end by a wide margin and leads both groups in yards per reception among players with significant volume.

Dont forget also that Oklahoma is a very proud program and trying to compete in the SEC. If Oklahoma has a so so season the coaching seat could become pretty hot.

 

[theKybluedude]

Thinking Stein is trying to flip Jack Stivers Trinity’s 6 5 250lb TE. Also centers on kicks. Real good ball player. Can really catch it and good blocker. Tough. Two younger brothers on the THS team. Big o linemen.

 

[BellyBall]

If we keep using TE's the way we have, we'll have the best Portal TE's calling us.

 

[Starrcade]

It can all change for the better or worse in one game. Let's hope he and they build off of this and have a strong season. Nobody in the SEC ever did want to play a road game in Lexington. Now they really don't.

[Starrcade]

I wen't from recording the late games to now watching them, just like that. I'm sure many did. I'm drinking the kool aid again. Such is the life of a UK fan, lol.

Seneca is that good. He needs to beg him to come. I’m begging to come. He’s Will Rod on steroids. We would literally be TE U.

For real? Did not know that.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Love the way we’re using our tight ends. About damn time!

No kidding and we have some very talented ones to boot in Rodriguez, Boyer, Kattus and Skinner.

 

[chroix]

Wins like Saturday get you the buzz you need to land top talent.

I’m liking what you are implying about flipping this kid. 6’5” and 250ib long snapper is very impressive alone but also a good blocker and receiver. I’m thinking that kids are already taking notice that UK is going to be a big player in the future years and will want to be a part of the process. Get Driver and Stivers both, just can’t miss on both. I also like the idea of Stivers coming and then his brothers follow. (If they are BBWall potential)

 

[Cleatortoises]

I hear from Boyle Co folks that Driver is a hot head, personal foul waiting to happen. He has already been ejected this year, and missed the next game for that.
The one they lost to Highlands.

5-star Oklahoma Sooners TE commit suspended after last week's ejection

A five-star tight end committed to Oklahoma was ejected last week, and then suspended for this week's game.

Who cares. Need talent to win in the SEC. Lot of hs kids go through those things. If he gets to college and it don’t change he don’t play. But always take the talent.

 

[Jtf2217]

We played UGA tough because Stoops and Kirby both play a similar brand of football.

Can't convince me that a few years Kirby didn't just go through the motions either. Seemed we could always hang with UGA (for the most part) but when it got close they kicked in. I think Kirby and Stoops liked each other and sometimes Kirby held back

Set em up.

OU cannot move the ball. Stein uses tight ends. We got a shot at flipping.
