| Former Yellow Jacket #22 Danny Trevathan at the University of Kentucky |
The outstanding career of UK linebacker Danny Trevathan is coming to a close. Unless the Wildcats (3-5, 0-4 SEC) really pull it together, Trevathan has four games left in blue and white. The team needs to win three of the next four, starting tomorrow at home against Ole Miss, to reach a bowl.
The Rebels have lost 11 consecutive SEC games. Their last win? Last year against UK. If not for that, Ole Miss would be riding a 14-game league losing streak. The Wildcats cannot allow themselves to be the Rebels’ lone SEC win in back-to-back seasons. That’s bad for the image.
It would also be bad for a guy like Trevathan, who has done everything he can to help UK win. I’ve written a story for tomorrow’s printed Courier-Journal on just how agonizing all these losses have been for the senior. He likely has an NFL future, but the guy wants to win now, with his friends.
Below is a sneak peek at tomorrow’s story. It’s most of the interviews for the story. First, a quick refresher on just how good Danny Trevathan has been for the Cats. He ranks first in the SEC and fourth in the country in tackles this year … after ranking first in the SEC and eighth in the country last year. Not too shabby. On a good team, this guy would be getting tons of national attention.
Check the stats:
2011 – 94 tackles, 7 TFL, 3 INT, 3 FF, 3 PBU, 2 sacks (in 8 games)
2010 – 144 tackles, 16 TFL, 4 FF, 2 PBU, 2 sacks
2009 – 80 tackles, 4 TFL, 2 FF
2008 – 5 tackles, 1 punt return for 10 yards (maybe should’ve redshirted this guy, no?)
TOTALS: 323 tackles, 27 TFL, 9 FF, 5 PBU, 4 sacks, 3 INT (18th player in school history with 300-plus tackles)
And here are the quotes. Mr. Trevathan is easily the most respected guy on this team, as you’ll see below (and probably already knew).
