Kentucky entered the 2022 season feeling really good about the interior three of the offensive line. The Wildcats had three proven SEC starters and a rising blue-chip redshirt freshman that could help immediately.
However, things can change fast.
Some injuries have limited Kenneth Horsey and Tashawn Manning with the former needing to kick out to left tackle after just one game. All of a sudden, Jager Burton became a full-time starter, and the Cats needed a new player to step in at right guard as Manning was held out for precautionary reasons while dealing with a lingering foot injury.
