Darian Kinnard is going to leave Kentucky as one of the all-time greats. The senior offensive lineman received the greatest individual honor he could, being named as a consensus All-American.
The 6-foot-5, 340-pounder out of Knoxville is now just the second offensive lineman out of Kentucky to earn consensus All-American status. Kinnard joins Sam Ball, who did the same back in 1965. Kinnard is the 12th Wildcat in program history to earn consensus All-American honors. This is also the third time in the last four years that Kentucky has produced a consensus All-American.
Kinnard joins an impressive list of Bob Gain (1950), Babe Parilli (1950 and 1951), Lou Michaels (1956 and 1957), Sam Ball (1965), Art Still (1977), Tim Couch (1998), James Whalen (1999), Derek Abney (2002), Josh Allen (2018), Lynn Bowden (2019), and Max Duffy (2019).
