Kenny Darby was Will Stein‘s first big recruiting win at Kentucky, managing to flip the four-star wide receiver from LSU to the Wildcats soon after taking over as head coach.
Already on campus as an early enrollee, the 6-foot-1 Darby made an impression during Saturday’s Spring Game. He should be finishing out his senior year of high school, but instead, he was hauling in a touchdown catch as a true freshman in front of the Big Blue Nation. Darby’s score came after halftime off a red zone trick play pass from Shane Carr. Darby could have had two touchdowns in the Spring Game, but starting QB Kenny Minchey missed him in the back of the end zone earlier in the game.
