LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – There’s so much talk about the UK quarterback battle and depth behind center it’s easy to forget there’s a local product and stud waiting in the wings.

But the former General is garnering high praise from his position coach, Darin Hinshaw, behind center and Hinshaw says Wood has a bright future at QB.
