Will Stein will make his first trip to SEC Media Days in late July. His first Kentucky team will open fall camp some time after. His first official home game as the Wildcats’ head coach will take place Sept. 5.
As far as firsts go, major milestones are still ahead. Nevertheless, Saturday offered a tease at what is to come for Stein.
“I got emotional running out of the tunnel,” Will Stein said after his unofficial debut at Kroger Field for the Wildcats’ spring game. “I know it wasn’t a real game, but when I ran on the field, I definitely felt it. It was, like, a lot, like a wave running over me.”

— Nick Lazaroff (@NickelLaz) April 18, 2026The Blue team offense beat the White team defense in the exhibition, 23-18. With several projected contributors either held out or sporting non-contact jerseys, Stein said the goal of the scrimmage was to get out clean.
For the most, that’s what happened. But the lack of theatrics didn’t seem to dull the experience for the Louisville native.
“I’ve never ran out of that tunnel like that, so that was really cool and unique,” he said. “When the fight song plays, it literally got me emotional. It was just a really cool moment for me.”
The first of many.
