Kentucky will be without a starting offensive lineman when the Wildcats host Youngstown State. Max Duffy shared on the KSR Pregame Show that Tashawn Manning will not be available for Saturday’s FCS matchup. Redshirt senior Quintin Wilson will start in Manning’s absence at right guard.
Manning, an Auburn transfer, started in the first two games of the season. Wilson, now in his fifth year in Lexington, has played both guard positions and center throughout his Kentucky career. This will be Wilson’s second starting assignment. He received the first reps at left guard in last year’s Citrus Bowl.
