The Kentucky Wildcats landed three players on the Preseason All-SEC Team, it was announced Tuesday.
Defensive tackle Deone Walker and outside linebacker J.J. Weaver were named to the Second-Team Defense, while offensive guard Eli Cox made the Third-Team Offense.
Cox, a native of Nicholasville (KY), has appeared in 30 career games with 22 starts. Last season, he moved to center and started in all 13 games, earning a spot on the Outland Trophy Watch List and the Comeback Player of the Year Award Watch List.
In 2021, he saw action in nine games before a hand injury, which required surgery, sidelined him.
