Kentucky’s offense knows the mission in 2023. For this unit to reach its ceiling, the offensive line must protect the asset. That means creating clean pockets for new quarterback Devin Leary. Offensive coordinator Liam Coen must find the man that can do the job at right tackle.

In the spring, Kentucky got the four other starting positions settled on the offensive line. Eli Cox and Kenneth Horsey moved back to guard. Northern Illinois transfer Marques Cox immediately seized the left tackle spot, and Jager Burton moved to center.
