The Clarksville, Tenn. native chose Kentucky over Vanderbilt coming out of high school. Those two teams meet in the Wildcats’ SEC opener Thursday at 9 p.m. “It’s going to be exciting, because it is so close to home,” Poythress said.
He will have family and possibly friends there, although he didn’t know how many as of Wednesday afternoon.
Poythress said that, despite the homecoming component to the game, he will treat it the same as any other.
