How Kentucky Replaces Offensive Tackles Darian Kinnard, Dare Rosenthal

Once the strength of Kentucky’s offense, the edges of the Big Blue Wall will be the biggest question mark for the Wildcats entering the 2022 football season.

Darian Kinnard‘s historic career has reached a conclusion following a Consensus All-American performance, just the 14th in UK history. In addition to losing the right tackle, offensive line coach Eric Wolford will be searching for a new left tackle. Former LSU Tiger Dare Rosenthal announced Wednesday that he will enter his name into the NFL Draft after one season at Kentucky.

Outside of Wan’Dale Robinson, Rosenthal’s departure is the most significant loss of the offseason for the Wildcats.
