The leadership council for the 2007 Kentucky football team has been elected by the Wildcats, Coach Rich Brooks has announced.
The council is usually comprised of seven players, each elected by his own position group. The first action of the new council was to ask that an eighth ?at-large? member be added for the 2007 season, a request that Brooks approved.
The role of the council is to represent the team on issues that need player input and to bring team concerns to the attention of the coaching staff if needed. This year?s council includes:
Defensive Line – J. D. Craigman
Linebackers – Wesley Woodyard
Defensive Backs – Roger Williams
Offensive Line – Jason Leger
Tight Ends, Specialists – Jacob Tamme
Wide Receivers – Keenan Burton
Quarterbacks, Running Backs – Andre? Woodson
At-Large – Rafael Little
?I believe this is the first year (of his term as head coach) that they?ve all been seniors,? Brooks said. ?It is also interesting how important it was to them that Rafael Little could be a part of the council.
?Obviously, they (council members) have invested themselves in the team and their teammates, have demonstrated their commitment to the football program, and now can bring additional leadership to the team.?
