Mister Cobble, the defensive tackle that was ineligible due to grades, is now eligible this semester. Joker Phillips announced today that Cobble has performed up to standard in the classroom and will get to play in the Compass Bowl on Jan. 8th. This will surely help the defense and it puts an All SEC caliber player on the defensive line and could be a great help in stopping the run. Below is the UKAthletics bio of Mister Cobble.
