The Kentucky Wildcats are gearing up for the 2026 season with a total rebuild of their coaching staff. Will Stein and Co. are making sure they have all their bases covered before the Cats take the field in August.
According to Justin Rowland, the Wildcats are expected to hire Erynn Love, who’s currently Tulsa’s Director of On-Campus Recruiting for the Kentucky Football program. Love has been in this role since the start of 2025.
Before Love’s current position, she spent four years at Tennessee in a few
different roles, then was hired as the Director of On-Campus Recruiting at the University of North Carolina.
The Wildcats have completed most of their coaching staff as spring practice gets underway, but there have been a few spots on Stein’s staff that were still vacant. With NIL and portal madness being at an all-time high, the off-field investment has been something that many SEC schools have a focus on.
During the 2025 season, Danielle Braswell was the Executive Director of Football Recruiting under Mark Stoops, a role she held for the past four seasons. She has since left for a job at Alabama.
