The Kentucky Wildcats football season is Jack Monday (83) days away

Tight end Jack Monday could be a nice underdog story for Kentucky football in 2024.

The Kentucky football team is hoping one of the current tight ends on the roster step up in 2024 and become a true weapon. They have a pair of very good wide receivers, and some talent at running back. The tight end room is a bit of an unknown, though. Jack Monday is an underdog, but would love to work his way onto the field some this year.

This is the next in a series of articles getting to know the 2024 Kentucky Wildcats football team. We will count down the number of days until the season starts and take a look at the players who wear the matching numbers.

Monday was a recruit in the 2024 class, but was lightly recruited. He played both tight end and linebacker, and wound up walking on for the Wildcats.

He hasn’t played much in his time with the Wildcats so far, but is hoping to crack the rotation this fall. The Junior has his work cut out for him, but fans love a good underdog story.
