1974 Rookie Profile: Jim Hovey

Defensive End
No. 88
Kentucky
"The Stars' 31st draft choice and Honorable Mention All-SEC in 1971, Hovey threw LSU's Bert Jones for three big losses in critical situations in front of LSU fans. Versatile, performing admirably at offensive guard in Wildcat spring practice last year, Jim also played outside linebacker for Kentucky. He goes 4.7 in the 40.
Hovey played on the undefeated St. Xavier High School (Louisville, KY) football team that was ranked fourth in the country. He comes from an athletic family: his father was a 9.9 sprinter.
Jim enjoys racquetball. His birthplace is St. Paul, Minnesota."
