Jordan Anthony was a valuable signee for Kentucky in the class of 2022 mainly due to the speed that the Mississippi native will be brining to Rich Scangarello’s offense. That speed has already been on full display this summer.

The true freshman just brought home the U2 200m title and is become a valuable sprinter for the Kentucky track and field team. The newcomer could have a bright future in couple of sports at Kentucky. However, there is one final honor to add to Anthony’s trophy case before moving on to college football.

For the second year in a row, Jordan Anthony has brought home a player of the year award in Mississippi. The Tylertown (Miss.) High product won the state meet in both the 100m and 200m. That 200m time was again verified at the recent national meet.

Wide receivers coach Scott Woodward is adding a bonafide sprinting star to his position room. That speed could give the Kentucky offense a true vertical threat weapon that could make loading the box hard to do on Saturdays in the fall.

Kentucky might have just found a gem in Jordan Anthony as the freshman has a great chance to make a huge splash in a pair of sports on campus.
