The Kentucky Wildcats just got massive news, as offensive lineman Eli Cox will be returning for the 2024 season, his final year of eligibility.
Cox made the announcement Tuesday via Twitter.
Keeping it short and sweet, Cox said, “I’m excited to announce that I’m returning to UK for my sixth and final season!”

Originally a class of 2019 recruit, Cox is a Kentucky native from nearby Nicholasville who played at West Jessamine. The 6-foot-4, 311-pounder redshirted his first year, saw extensive action as a backup in 2020, then became a full-time starter in 2021 and never looked back.
