Kentucky’s compact, no-nonsense RB who could pop in space
In the 2015 season, Jojo Kemp was Kentucky’s steady, efficient back, finishing second on the team with 98 carries for 555 rushing yards and tying for the team lead with six rushing touchdowns[7][9]. The standout trait is his burst and balance after contact—he’s the kind of runner who turns a crease into a chunk play, as shown by his 165-yard, three-TD game against Charlotte in 2015[7][9]. He was also productive early in his Kentucky career, with 1,360 rushing yards and 13 rushing TDs across 2013–2015, but injury chatter in 2016 suggests durability was part of the evaluation[7][8][12].
