Jamarion Wilcox News, Rumors, Updates - Kentucky Wildcats | FOX Sports

Runs wild in laugher Wilcox compiled 13 carries for 123 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-6 win over Murray State.

Impact Wilcox went over the 100-yard rushing plateau for the second-straight contest, while scoring for the second time in three contests. Wilcox is demanding carries over teammate Demio Sumo-Karngbaye with these performances, though the latter still rushed 11 times for 48 yards and a touchdown in the rout. It will be interesting to see how carries are divvied up next weekend, though neither back is likely to have much success at Texas.

Set for big role Saturday Wilcox is set to start Saturday's game versus Auburn, Aaron Gershon of 247Sports reports.

Impact With both Chip Trayanum (ankle) and Demie Sumo-Karngbaye (undisclosed) out, Wilcox will start at running back for the Wildcats. The redshirt freshman has rushed 32 times for 224 yards this season, an impressive seven yards per carry. Jason Patterson also figures to see some work.

Ready to roll in Week 2 Wilcox (undisclosed) isn't listed on Kentucky's injury report for Week 2.

Impact Wilcox was considered probable earlier in the week, so this isn't all that surprising. The running back logged two carries for eight yards in the opener, but has dealt with an undisclosed issue since then. However, he appears to be good to go and should continue to be a rotational piece in the Wildcats' backfield.

Probable for Week 2 Wilcox (undisclosed) is probable for the Week 2 matchup against South Carolina on Saturday.

Impact Wilcox logged two carries for eight yards in the season opener against Southern Miss, and while the details of his injury haven't been disclosed, it doesn't seem as if he'll have a hard time seeing touches out of the backfield. Even if healthy, he'll face competition to see a steady role, so his fantasy upside will be limited.

Could be leaned on a lot early Wilcox could be leaned on a lot for carries early into Kentucky's 2024 season, Jack Pilgrim of On3.com reports.

Impact Not even half a week ago, per Aaron Gershon of 247Sports.com, Kentucky's head coach Mark Stoops publicized his running backs potentially being used via committee. With its lead Chip Trayanum (hand) out at least a game or two, UK would have to rely more on the committee's other members, which also includes Wilcox. He has had "a great fall camp" in Gershon's words, so the running back getting increased opportunities is undoubtedly possible.
