Kentucky defensive tackle Phil Hoskins was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Much like fellow defensive lineman Quinton Bohanna, Hoskins has been a mainstay along the Cat’s front seven. First, we’ll look at Hoskins’ career at UK and project how the Cats can potentially replace the newest Carolina Panther.
