Sorry to hear that.

 

Thanks for the memories Miles.

He was an amazing athlete at the HS level. He could read a block and had the speed to wait before he turned it up field.

 

One of those guys with a gift that the rest of us are jealous over.

Just heard that Miles Simpson football career is over due to a hip injury.

 

Linebacker Miles Simpson’s football career has ended just weeks before the start of his Senior year. UK announced today that a hip injury has forced him to end his football career sooner than anticipated.

 

One of Kentucky’s best high school running backs, Miles has been on the other side of the ball his entire collegiate career. He excelled in the role of ‘Monster’ safety position as Winston Guy’s replacement, recording 70 tackles in 2012. As Avery Williamson’s backup last season, D.J. Eliot was hoping Miles could mitigate the loss in the middle. The loss leaves the Cats with only a handful of potential inside linebackers. Luckily, the man believed to be the best candidate for the MLB position, Ryan Flannigan (JUCO), will arrive on Campus August 1st.

 

There is a silver lining in this loss, as Miles plans to graduate in December.

Heck of a run, hope life after football is just as sweet.

Boy really hate to hear that, the other day I was wondering how he was doing and was looking forward to finding him on the field during the games. I really get a kick out of seeing the NKY boys on the tube. Good luck to him in his future, hope he heals quickly.

On another note, Cole Mosier from WV is moving up the depth chart at UK.

 

Will miss seeing Miles wearing the Blue/White.

Sorry to hear for Miles. He gets his college degree from UK and that in my opinion is a success.

I was on KSR looking at the depth chart and was thinking about where he was at and then i saw this posted on there right after the chart was posted. He is a hell of an athlete.

Good to see other NKY boys listed and making some noise. Cole Mosier and Cameron Fogle.

Is Mosier on scholarship yet? It would really be tragic for something like this to happen to a walk on!

How come he can't get a medical redshirt?

I think he already had a redshirt year.

Awesome for Cole, Coach Schlarman loves him.

 

Cameron Fogle is moving up the depth chart as well.

 

 

I am sad to hear the news about Miles, I like many others was looking forward to watching him for one more year.

I was thinking a medical redshirt is something different but I am admittedly ignorant to the redshirting process. I hate it for the kid. Not the way anyone would want to end their college career.

Great to hear about Cole moving up.

 

And I'm sure Miles will be roaming the sidelines of a college or high school in the not too distant future. Quality young man.
