A big season is on the horizon for the Kentucky football program. Head coach Mark Stoops has decided to lock up one of his top assistants heading into the final year of his contract.
Offensive line coach Eric Wolford has signed a one-year contract and received a $100,000 dollar pay bump in July, according to Kentucky’s Office of Legal Counsel. Wolford will make $900,000 in 2025 and $925,000 in 2026.
The 54-year-old was a member of the Kentucky football staff in 2021 before leaving to become the offensive line coach at Alabama. Eric Wolford spent two years in Tuscaloosa but became a free agent after the 2023 season when Nick Saban retired. Kentucky quickly agreed to terms with the Youngstown native that offseason. Wolford earned $350,000 from UK in 2024. That low number was due to the amount of money Alabama still owed the SEC veteran.
