🔼 Childress Comeback. With just one year of eligibility left, Zion Childress is staying at Kentucky to continue his football career. The defensive back played and started 12 games this season. He had 51 tackles, 36 being solo, two tackles for loss and one sack. Childress has played at Kentucky since 2022, so we are excited to see him return for a third year.

🔼 Maxey’s Back. In case you missed it, Tyrese Maxey visited the men’s basketball team at the Wells Fargo Center during its game against Penn. Maxey is a Kentucky basketball alumnus who is now playing for the Philadelphia 76ers. Maxey talked about his favorite memories while at Kentucky and how life has been in the NBA.
