J Batt is officially headed to the University of Kentucky Athletics as the school's next athletic director, replacing longtime AD Mitch Barnhart, who is retiring after 24 years in the role.
Batt, 44, most recently served as athletic director at Michigan State Athletics, a position he held for just over a year after previously leading Georgia Tech Athletics from 2022-25. Kentucky announced that Batt will also serve as CEO of Champions Blue, the nonprofit entity overseeing the athletic department's business operations and revenue initiatives.
