Eli Cox to represent Kentucky at SEC Spring Meetings

Kentucky offensive lineman Eli Cox is among four Southeastern Conference student-athletes that will participate in SEC Spring Meetings scheduled to begin May 30 in Sandestin, Fla. These student-athletes will participate in meetings throughout the week to share their perspective and offer input on issues that impact their college experience.

The four student-athletes are Texas A&M’s Henry Coleman III (Men’s Basketball), Kentucky’s Eli Cox (Football), Missouri’s Jude Dierker (Men’s Swimming & Diving) and Tennessee’s Tamari Key (Women’s Basketball).  

Following a dinner with Commissioner Greg Sankey to begin the week, the group will meet with the SEC’s Presidents and Chancellors, Athletics Directors, Faculty Athletics Representatives and Senior Woman Administrators throughout the week. The agenda also includes a conversation with SEC Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Katie O’Neal on the topic of student-athlete mental health.

The four student-athletes who are scheduled to attend Spring Meetings are all members of one of the SEC’s Student-Athlete Leadership Councils or the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).
