From Bama to Kentucky, Kendrick Law is ready to "showcase everything I can do that I haven't shown"

Kendrick Law picked up 33 catches in 34 games across three seasons at Alabama for a total of 343 yards and a touchdown. He returned 22 kicks for 536 yards, too, but he entered the transfer portal last offseason looking for more as a former four-star, top-100 recruit out of high school.

And by the sound of things, he’s going to find it in Lexington as a Wildcat.

“K-Law is strong and can run,” Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops said to open fall camp, confirming he’d also return kicks for the Wildcats.

“A lot of the things we’ll be doing this year will go through Kendrick Law,” offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan added.

How did Law take those comments, especially Hamdan singling out the 6-0, 205-pound senior as a top playmaker for the blue and white in 2025? It’s what he signed up for and he’s excited to make the most of that opportunity.

Everyone in that room will be expected to step up and he’s confident he’s one of those guys, giving Kentucky a do-it-all home run threat in his final season of eligibility.

“I just think that’s something he said,” Law said of Hamdan’s comments in an interview with KSR. “To put it in perspective — I mean, I play a huge role in it, just like everyone in the room plays a huge role in it. What he’s having in mind for me to do, it’s not what average guys do. Coming in with a different build, with a different body type, that was one of the things about me coming here.

“I wanted to be able to use all of the abilities I have, that’s what he was trying to express.”

Law was rated as the No. 91 overall player and No. 4 ATH in the class of 2022, known for his top-end speed with experience playing receiver, running back and defensive back. Your job was to put the ball in his hands, his was to take care of the rest by putting it in the end zone as an open-field assassin.

There were flashes in Tuscaloosa, but he wants to prove he can be more than a one-trick pony in Lexington. He wants to be a consistent producer and true difference-maker.

“I’ve been there the time that I’ve been there, but here, I want to showcase everything I can do that I haven’t shown in past years,” Law continued.

What does that look like exactly? Less than four weeks away from kickoff, we’ll find out soon enough.

“The season is here, so I guess we’ll have to see,” he said with a grin.

How about a hint? What route is he most excited to run under the bright lights of Kroger Field on Saturdays this fall?

“Anything deep, send it,” Law told KSR. “I’ll go get it.”
