For the second straight season, Kentucky has lost its starting left tackle to injury before the first game.
Landon Young, a former Lafayette star, suffered a right knee injury during practice on Friday and will miss the rest of the season. Kentucky’s first game is on Saturday against Central Michigan.
The 6-foot-7, 305-pound junior had started in 15 games and played extensively in 26 of them. He was part of a team that replaced Cole Mosier, who was supposed to be UK’s starting left tackle a season ago before a knee injury in a preseason scrimmage ended his Cats career.
