The name Darian Kinnard isn’t necessarily a household name throughout the BBN just yet, but that could change whenever next year’s football season rolls around, whenever that may be. In 2019, the true sophomore right tackle started in all 13 games and registered 32 knockdown blocks. He was called for just one penalty out of 706 offensive plays. KSR’s Freddie Maggard believes the upcoming season will be Kinnard’s last in Lexington, predicting he’ll enter the NFL Draft a year early and “could go down in history as the program’s best right tackle. Yes, he’s that good.”
For Kinnard, entering and succeeding in the league is the ultimate goal.
