He is going to have a great season.

Kentucky receiver La'Rod King knows what it's like to be a freshman in college.

He knows the temptations and remembers them well.

"I'm going to sit home, chill, watch TV, sleep and eat snacks or something," King recalled of his own routine.

But with UK needing to replace its top two receivers, who accounted for nearly 2,000 yards and 16 touchdown catches last season, King knows this year's class of young receivers has to resist those temptations.

It's why the junior always has his mouth running and his thumbs pounding.

"I'm texting them constantly," he said of the young receiving corps. "We want everybody on the same page. ... If you're not on them, they don't know what to do."

The 6-foot-4 receiver from North Hardin knows that with the departures of Randall Cobb and Chris Matthews, it could be his year as the top receiver.

His five touchdowns are the most for any returning player on UK's roster. Last season, he caught 36 passes for 478 yards.

But as much as he relishes the idea of being a go-to receiver this season, he also wants to be a go-to leader.
