How Kentucky football TE Willie Rodriguez became a unique weapon
Willie Rodriguez is the second-leading receiver for Kentucky this season. He revists the pair of game-winning, two-point conversion plays for UK.
In this episode of The C.L. Brown Show, Kentucky football's junior tight end Willie Rodriguez shares his unique role as a weapon for the team. Currently second on the team with 28 receptions for 219 yards, Rodriguez reveals his surprising past as a running back. The formation known as the "Williecat," an adaptation of the Wildcat by UK coach Will Stein, allows Rodriguez to take a direct snap and become a game-changer.
Rodriguez emphasizes the importance of the Williecat formation in his career and how it has enabled him to chase his childhood dreams while playing for the University of Kentucky. He details his exceptional contributions in both games against South Carolina and LSU, where he played a crucial role in securing a game-winning two-point conversion at South Carolina and serving as a major decoy leading up to the game-winning touchdown against LSU.
