Alex Afari is ready to go vs. Texas A&M, per Will Stein

LEXINGTON, KY - SEPTEMBER 16: Kentucky Wildcats linebacker Alex Afari #3 is set to face Texas A&M on Saturday, according to head coach Will Stein. Afari, a fifth-year player, is now ready to play after appearing in only three snaps in Week 1 and sitting out last week’s game against Alabama. Stein indicated during a recent coaches show that Afari’s role has been increasing, and his experience could prove crucial in the upcoming SEC matchup.

The Wildcats’ defense has been strong so far, and with dynamic running backs Marcel Reed and Ruben Owens, the team will rely heavily on big plays from their defense, led by the seasoned Afari, to secure a potential upset against the Aggies.
