We’re just about a month-and-a-half until the Kentucky Wildcats open the 2025 football season at home against Toledo.
It’s been a quiet offseason, as Mark Stoops and the Wildcats look to bounce back from the worst regular season of the Stoops era since his first season in Lexington back in 2013. The Wildcats went 4-8 last season, finishing with just 1 win in SEC competition.
While the offseason has been fairly quiet headed into Stoops’ 13th season at the helm in Lexington, we’re going to hear from
Stoops and the Wildcats today, as they take the stage at SEC Media Days.
The Wildcats are scheduled to hit the stage, along with Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas A&M. Mark Stoops will be joined by LB Alex Afari, DB Jordan Lovett, and TE Josh Kattus at the podium.
We’ll likely hear Stoops talk about trying to shift the culture in the locker room, which has been a popular talking point this offseason, Kentucky’s activity in the transfer portal, and maybe the quarterback race between Zach Calzada and Cutter Boley.
Here’s how you can watch Stoops and the Wildcats at Media Days today.
