More than 200 Kentuckians are on FBS college football teams. Here’s who’s playing where.

Players with ties to the state of Kentucky will be taking the field all across the Football Bowl Subdivision this season.

Rosters for 72 schools — up from 60 last season — include at least one with Kentucky, Louisville and Western Kentucky leading the way. Cincinnati, Marshall, Purdue and Miami (Ohio) — Kentucky’s season-opening opponent — also have five or more Kentuckians on their squads.

Four of top five teams in the Associated Press preseason Top 25 have at least one player with Kentucky ties with No. 3 Georgia the only outlier from that group. No. 1 Alabama has Tanner Bowles, a junior out of Glasgow, on its offensive line. No. 2 Ohio State’s roster includes Jantzen Dunn, a second-year safety from South Warren. The fourth-ranked Clemson Tigers have Walker Parks, a junior offensive lineman out of Frederick Douglass. Junior tight end Michael Mayer, from Covington Catholic, stars for No. 5 Notre Dame, which also has Jacob Lacey, a senior defensive lineman from South Warren, in the fold.

Here’s an alphabetical rundown by school. Note that teams are still adjusting rosters and not all program websites are created equally (i.e. user-friendly), so if we missed someone let us know at hlsports@herald-leader.com and we’ll add them to the online version of this story.
