Tovani Mizell News, Rumors, Updates - Kentucky Wildcats | FOX Sports

Suffers season-ending injury Mizell (undisclosed) will miss the 2026 season after he suffered a season-ending injury in fall camp, per Adam Luckett of Kentucky Sports Radio.

Impact This is a tough break for Mizell and the Wildcats. The tailback had been standing out in fall camp and looked poised to carve out a role in his third year of college ball. Now, he'll miss the season entirely. Kentucky should rely on CJ Baxter, Jovantae Barnes and Jason Patterson to lead the way in their backfield this fall.

Standing out in fall camp Mizell has been standing out in fall camp in recent days, according to Jeff Drummond of On3.com.

Impact "He's been impressive," head coach Will Stein said of Mizell. "You know, he was a highly recruited player... at some point, you gotta go out there and play. And Tovani's had a strong showing in the first three days." Kentucky features lots of two-back formations, and Mizell will probably get a chance to play if he stays ready as he has over the last few practices.
