In his first game as Kentucky’s center, Luke Fortner impressed. The SEC named the super-senior Co-Offensive Lineman of the Week for his performance vs. ULM.
Fortner had four knockdown blocks, eight blocks at the point of attack, and did not allow a sack in Kentucky’s 45-10 win over the Warhawks. The Wildcats finished with 564 yards of total offense and had a 300-yard passer, two 100-yard receivers, and a 100-yard rusher in a game for the first time since 2006. Fortner previously played guard but shifted to center upon Drake Jackson’s departure.
Fortner has played in 43 career games with 24 starts on the offensive line.
