The Kentucky Wildcats received outstanding news recently when junior offensive tackle Darian Kinnard announced he’d forgo the 2021 NFL Draft and return to Lexington for his senior season.
Kinnard made the decision just days after being named a third-team All-American and after stating he received NFL feedback that found he’d likely be drafted in the second or third round if he had declared.
However, the Wildcats did lose linebacker Jamin Davis, who played at an all-conference level and could have been an All-American next season. The hope is he’ll also be selected in the Round 2-3 range.
