It’s officially, official. Tight end Willie Rodriguez will return to play for Will Stein at Kentucky.
There were early signs we shared on KSR Plus that things were trending toward a return, but things can change quickly when the transfer portal is open. In the case, nothing changed. Rodriguez is back for his third year.
“He’s a really good player. The vision is we’re going to throw him the ball, and Willie knows that. I’ve shown him many ways,” offensive coordinator Joe Sloan said last month, drawing laughter from the audience of media members.
