The Kentucky Wildcats are fresh off their first 10-win season in over 40 years.
However, losing two of the best players in program history — Benny Snell, Jr., and Josh Allen — makes it difficult for a program like UK to continue its upward trajectory.
Luckily for the Cats, Mark Stoops has recruited SEC-caliber players that are two-to-three deep at every single position. And the giant hole being left behind by Allen is no different.
Calvin Taylor Jr. will help boast one of the best defensive lines in the SEC next season, and try to make sure the loss of Allen doesn’t hurt too badly while following a path similar to what Allen traveled.
