Kendrick Law Accepts Invite to the East-West Shrine Bowl
Kentucky senior wide receiver/return specialist Kendrick Law has accepted an invitation to participate in the East-West Shrine Bowl, to be played Jan. 27, 2026, at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. He will join teammate Jager Burton in Frisco.
Kickoff is at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT (local) and the game will be televised on the NFL Network. Tickets can be purchased at ShrineBowl.com. A free Fan Fest will take place pre-game at The Star.
Law, 6-foot, 205-pounder from Shreveport, Louisiana, led the Wildcats in 2025 in receptions (53), receiving yards (540) and kickoff returns (19.3 yards per return). His 53 receptions were nearly double the next closest Cat, Hardley Gilmore IV with 28. He ranked second on the team in receiving touchdowns (3) and all-purpose yards (64.6/game). Law added eight rushes for 53 yards.
He set career highs versus Tennessee Tech in both receptions (11) and receiving yards (124) as he notched the second 100-yard receiving game of career, both coming in his one season at UK after transferring from Alabama. He became the first UK player since Wan’Dale Robinson (13 receptions) on November 6, 2021 to catch at least 11 passes in a game.
For his career, Law appeared in 46 games and made 16 starts.
The East-West Shrine Bowl is the longest-running college all-star football game in the nation. An important part of America’s football tradition, the event gives top college players a chance to showcase their talents to NFL scouts and a national television audience.
Law becomes the 43rd Wildcat to be invited to the event since Ray Correll and Steve Meilinger first participated in 1954.
