If You Don’t Know, Now You Know: Darian Kinnard

@Darian_70

Darian Kinnard was recruited to become Kentucky’s next star at offensive tackle. Despite the hype, even he did not expect to get immediately thrown into the fire.

Kentucky’s second-highest ranked recruit in the 2018 class, Kinnard was a four-star prospect that played in the All-American Game before enrolling in the summer. A left tackle in high school, he was prepared to start his career at guard. That all changed once Landon Young suffered a season-ending injury in the final preseason scrimmage.

“I kind of worked every position except for center.” But if push came to shove, Kinnard believes he could play the position.
