Former all-Southeastern Conference linebacker Wesley Woodyard is “really excited” about the growth of the Kentucky football program.
Woodyard had 395 tackles in his four-year career at UK but was not picked in the NFL draft. However, he went on to play a combined 12 years in the NFL for Denver and then Tennessee.
He will be back in Lexington to host the 16Ways.Org Golf Scramble July 15 at Thoroughbred Golf Club in Lexington (go to this link for more information).
“For me you can easily feel the growth in the UK program and it leaps into the professional world where you have got guys in NFL locker rooms talking about Kentucky,” Woodyard said. “Kentucky is a great place to play and more people are learning that all the time.”
“We have been trying to say this since 2004 when I came to Kentucky. (Coach Mark) Stoops has created his own legacy. These young kids are seeing the success at Kentucky and how they are making players first-round picks every year. I am really happy about that.”
