Jordan Wright announces today that he will be returning to the University of Kentucky for a 5th season with the Wildcats! Wright is excited to return to Lexington to continue to hone his skills as a Linebacker so that he can develop into a NFL player and also to help his team compete for a SEC Championship.
With the announcement of the return of the Outside Linebacker just strengthens the 2022 roster that much more and gives some more experience as well. Wright is by far one of Kentucky's top defenders as he has 106 tackles (15.5 for loss), 7.5 sacks, 10 pass deflections, 4 forced fumbles, 4 fumble recoveries, and 1 interception in 34 games played.
We will continue to see how the roster will pan out for the 2022 season in the coming days as more Wildcats decide on their futures, whether that's staying at UK, putting their name in the transfer portal, or declaring for the NFL Draft, however, the future is looking bright for Kentucky Football.
