Sportsman of the Year: Runners-up

2 | Randall Cobb

2010 achievements: The UK wide receiver set an SEC single-season record for all-purpose yardage (2,396) and the Kentucky career record for touchdowns (37) and was named a first-team Associated Press All-American as an all-purpose player.

Comment: "Cobb may be from Tennessee but he's now a Kentuckian and no Wildcat fan will argue that point. He's the rare superstar who placed more emphasis on the name on the front of the jersey rather than the one on the back. ... Great Wildcat football players will be compared to him for decades to come." — Larry Glover, WVLK radio, Lexington

3 | John Calipari

2010 achievements: First-year coach led UK to a 35-3 record, the SEC regular-season and tournament championships and a berth in the NCAA Tournament round of eight. Also organized a telethon that raised more than $1 million for earthquake relief in Haiti.
