SEC FOOTBALL: UK’s Warford named All-SEC again

Register Staff Reports

RICHMOND — Special to the Register



University of Kentucky senior offensive lineman Larry Warford has been named an All-Southeastern Conference performer by The Associated Press, it was announced Monday.

Warford, a native of Richmond and a graduate of Madison Central, earned Second-Team All-SEC honors.

Warford has now earned All-SEC honors in each of the past three year. He was named All-SEC Second-Team by AP each of the last two seasons. In addition, he was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team by league coaches in 2009.

Kentucky has had at least one All-SEC second-team selection every year since 2002.

Warford received high praise throughout the season from the UK coaching staff for playing with amazing skill up front. He did not allow a quarterback sack all year, grading at 90.3 percent for the season and totaling 48 knockdown blocks.

Warford ended his UK career having played in 47 games with 37 consecutive starts.

The senior was named SEC Co-Offensive Lineman of the Week after UK’s win over Kent State, handling blocking responsibilities on KSU’s star lineman Roosevelt Nix. In that game, Warford collected eight knockdown blocks and graded out at 91.7 percent.

Warford began the season on the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Trophy Watch Lists and was chosen as a First-Team Midseason All-SEC selection by Phil Steele’s College Football.

Warford was named a game captain five times throughout the season. Warford helped UK tailbacks earn 4.9 yards per carry during the season, including rushing for 342 yards against Samford.

Was Eastern Kentucky University justified in agreeing to a $400,000 salary plus benefits, including a housing allowance, for incoming president Michael Benson?

Yes. Benson is a proven fundraiser and institutional leader. Bringing him to EKU will pay enormous dividends. Also, his salary will still be less than that of Western Kentucky University’s president and is comparable to what other successful schools are paying their presidents.
No. With EKU giving only modest, if any, pay raises to faculty/staff, offering buyouts, planning layoffs and elimination of programs, paying the president that much can’t be justified, no matter how good he is. How can he ask others to sacrifice when he will be making $400,000.
I don't care.
