Sunday Headlines: Jordan Anthony Edition

Good morning BBN!

As we kick off a new week, the Kentucky Wildcats had a dual-sport athlete break another record on the track this weekend to get both football fans and track fans excited about the future of the young athlete.

Jordan Anthony, who is a receiver for Mark Stoops’ program as well as a track superstar for UK, gave yet another jaw-dropping performance in the 100-meter dash.

In his 100m debut, Anthony posted a 10.16 (1.0) which is now the freshman record, and even the second-fastest time recorded in school history for the event.

Committing to UK under offensive coordinator Liam Coen, Anthony could have a solid impact on the gridiron this fall as well. Whether it be on Special Teams or even catching some deep passes from Devin Leary, his speed is definitely a tool this football team could use in the skill positions.

Should be fun to watch him excel at both sports in Lexington for years to come.
