Kentucky safety Jordan Castell earned his second Lott IMPACT Trophy Player of the Week honor after helping the Wildcats secure their first-ever win at Oklahoma. His two interceptions—including a fourth-quarter pick-six—powered Kentucky’s 21-13 victory and brought his postgame haul to six weekly awards.

By the Numbers
  • 6 weekly honors after the Oklahoma win
  • 2 interceptions, 9 tackles and 1 pass breakup against Oklahoma
  • 4 interceptions this season, leading the SEC
  • 7 career interceptions, tied for 15th among active FBS players
Yes, But

Castell’s recognition reflects both decisive plays and a broader defensive effort: Kentucky held an Oklahoma offense averaging 23 points per game to 13.

State of Play
  • No. 12 Kentucky is 6-1 overall and 4-1 in the SEC.
  • The Wildcats host Vanderbilt on Oct. 24 at Kroger Field; the game is sold out.
What's Next

Kentucky faces Vanderbilt at 7:30 p.m. ET on the SEC Network. Verified resale tickets are available through UK Athletics.

Bottom Line

Castell turned a pivotal road win into a personal showcase, but his biggest impact was on the scoreboard: his late interception return helped preserve Kentucky’s breakthrough victory.
