The more he gets to play and develop, the more Kentucky associate coach Vince Marrow believes freshman tight end Willie Rodriguez will be a “monster” for the Wildcats.
“Put him in situations where the game is on the line and that kid does not flinch,” Marrow said. “He’s got great parents. They are just a blue collar family with a great work ethic and that’s why he just goes about his work daily.
“He’s a big, strong, fast guy. I am just looking forward to getting him more involved in the offense as he keeps learning. Remember, he didn’t get here in January like most freshmen.”
Marrow calls Rodriguez a “true team player” every day.
“He supports everybody on the team. Everybody on the team loves him,” Marrow said. “I can’t wait to see him keep going forward and turning into the monster on the field I know he is going to be.”
