Vito Tisdale UK Football Preseason Practice 2020 Photo by Jacob Noger - UK Football
Kentucky defensive coordinator Brad White has not been surprised by what freshman safety Vito Tisdale of Bowling Green has done during preseason practice.
“You saw that playmaking ability on his high school film,” White said. “Some subtle things he did both as a junior and senior … that’s an elite level athlete able to do that.”
White remembered a “scoop and score” after a blocked punt that stood out.
“Most guys fumble that around and the way he just picked it up. There was a rarity, a smoothness to that. You knew it was different.”
Kentucky cornerback Kelvin Joseph, a LSU transfer, has noticed a lot of what Tisdale has done as well.
“I have been seeing a lot of interceptions and plays being made,” Joseph said. “Just small things he needs to work on. I am going to get with him so he will be ready to play week one.”
