All-SEC center Jon Toth started 48 consecutive games between 2013 through 2016. Drake Jackson followed Toth and went on to start 44 straight contests from 2017-2020 while earning all-conference honors. Luke Fortner, an All-SEC guard, replaced Jackson last season and produced yet another All-SEC performance by a UK center. Fortner is preparing for the NFL Draft which leaves a valued open spot in the middle of the Big Blue Wall. Three centers in nearly a decade all earned all-conference honors.
