While, yes, Kavosiey Smoke has a certain ring to it … it may be one that the owner of the name would rather forget. He lists his nickname as “Smoke” and has admittedthat instead of his deeply original first name, he would prefer a more “common name.” “Just say Smoke,” he told the Courier-Journal. “That’s what I tell people — call me Smoke — because...
One of the unique features of Smoke’s biography is that he has some Native American ancestry. Appropriately, he played in high school at Wetumpka High in Alabama. Wetumpka is taken from a Creek word meaning “rumbling waters.” Which sounds kind of like Courvoisier, but that would be another story.
Maybe Smoke was destined to end up at Kentucky. Not only was he a football star at Wetumpka, but he started for 4 seasons on the basketball team. That said, there aren’t a ton of 5-9 small forwards in the SEC, which might be why Smoke (who was listed at 215) ended up on the gridiron.
It’s hardly surprising that a kid in Alabama grew up dreaming of playing for the Tide or the Tigers. Smoke was the No. 23-ranked recruit in Alabama in the 2018 class. But after Alabama and Auburn passed on offering him a scholarship, he chose UK over North Carolina and Florida Atlantic. Of course, this is pretty standard fare for the Wildcats — who...
That said, Kentucky did get a bit lucky when Smoke played against fellow Alabaman Jake Bentley, who was on his way to start for South Carolina. Bentley’s team won, but he mentioned the outstanding running back on the other team to his dad, Bobby Bentley, who was then an assistant coach for the Gamecocks. Carolina did try to recruit Smoke, but its e...
One of the biggest features of Smoke’s game is his big-play ability. He has averaged 6.3 yards per carry at UK, rushing for 616 yards and 6 touchdowns last season. Smoke set a school record in 2019, when he became the first player since at least World War II to post touchdown runs of 32 or more yards in each of the Wildcats’ first 2 games. https://...
Smoke is part of UK’s trio of excellent returning backs, with A.J. Rose and Christopher Rodriguez, but he might claim an advantage in the passing game. Granted, UK passed rarely-to-never in 2019, but UK offensive coordinator Eddie Gran has repeatedly praised Smoke’s route running and hands … and when called on, as, for instance on a 3rd-and-26 agai...
It’s no mean feat to claim when sharing a backfield with Lynn Bowden, but Smoke broke the longest run from scrimmage for Kentucky in 2019, when he went 70 yards against Louisville. That one echoed his first big run at UK, a touchdown rush in his redshirt season of 2018 against the Cardinals.
Smoke finished 4th in the SEC among freshmen in rushing last season (and 17th among all players in the league), trailing only John Rhys Plumlee, Isaiah Spiller and Jerrion Ealy in rushing yards. Also a weird stat quirk — Smoke averages 7.7 yards per carry on 1st down, significantly more than 2nd down (4.1), 3rd down (1.9), or 4th down (3 yards on h...
Smoke committed to (and signed with) Kentucky on National Signing Day in 2018 — before we had separate Signing Days. It had to be a busy day at the Smoke house (by the way, is he not automatically set up for a potential restaurant name, should he open one some day?) because Signing Day was Feb. 7, and Feb. 8 is Smoke’s birthday.

Nov 18, 2023 · “Hurt I didn’t get to show yall my real talent that I know I got,” he tweeted on Nov. 10. Aside from his true freshman season, Smoke was able to amass at least 220 rushing yards in every season he played in Lexington.
