• Get to know the Kentucky football roster: No. 18 Xavier Daisy (usatoday.com) — A former Norcross standout wide receiver, Xavier Daisy is now suiting up for Kentucky after transferring from UAB, where he saw limited but promising action. At 6-foot-3 with notable length and upside, he's expected to begin the 2026 season as a backup but could emerge if the Wildcats' receiving corps needs a playmaker.
