Ray “Rock” Oliver, a former strength coach with the University of Kentucky and Cincinnati Bengals, has returned to Lexington as the director of strength and conditioning for the UK football team, Coach Joker Phillips has announced.

Phillips also has announced the appointment of Ted Lambrinides (pronounced lam-brin-EE-des), a long-time fitness professional with a broad range of experience in the field, as assistant strength and conditioning coach.

“I'm excited about having great teachers who have a wealth of experience and knowledge of the business as our strength coaches,” Phillips said. “I've stayed in touch with Rock since he was here at UK. He's a great motivator, with the ability to get the best out of the kids, and has the toughness we're continuing to develop on our team.

“In addition to his work in strength and conditioning, Ted has extensive knowledge in speed training and experience in getting players ready for college and NFL combines.”
