Two things stand out about Will Thomas Collins, Kentucky’s starting junior fullback throughout fall camp.
One: He earns consistent praise from his position coach, Vince Marrow, who lovingly refers to him as a “thumper”.
Two: His nickname is “Taco Meat”.
BRUISER
A native of Jackson, Ky., Collins – who opened his career at NAIA Pikeville College in 2012 – has gone from scout-team, walk-on linebacker to UK’s starting fullback.
When he takes the field on Saturday for Kentucky’s season opener at 7 p.m. in The New Commonwealth Stadium it will fulfill a lifelong dream.
“When people used to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would say a Kentucky football player. Not an NFL player but a Kentucky football player,” Collins said. “When I run out of that tunnel on Saturday, I can’t even tell you what it’s going to be like.”
