Denzil Ware, unexpectedly, is leaving the UK football program. Kentucky’s starting outside linebacker is transferring from the school. Ware is graduating this weekend and therefore will be a graduate-transfer, and is eligible to play for another school this season. So the question now becomes, who will start opposite Josh Allen on Kentucky’s front seven?
Ware’s production will not be easily replicated. A three-year starter for the UK football team, Ware played in 35 games over the past 3 seasons. Alongside Allen, Ware was part of the Blitz Brothers. Last season, Ware had 6.5 sacks and totaled 13 during his career at UK.
