Houston Hogg, a member of the University of Kentucky football team from 1967-70 and a pioneer of integration in Southeastern Conference football, has died in Owensboro at the age of 71. Hogg began his playing career in his native Hazard before finishing high school at Daviess County. Hogg enrolled at Kentucky in the fall of 1967, one year behind Nate Northington and Greg Page, who were the first African-American football players in SEC history. Arrangements for Hogg are pending.
