While magazines are unfortunately no longer a regularly used medium, the world of college football still produces them before each season. Athlon Sports fuels its summer tradition and some Kentucky Wildcats are among the best of the best in the SEC.
Six Kentucky Wildcats earned Preseason All-SEC honors from Athlon. Left tackle Lance Heard is a Second Team All-SEC offensive tackle. Four players are on the third team: TE Willie RodríguezC Coleton PriceS Ty Bryantand DT Tavion Gadson. We finish with DE Mi'Quise Humphrey-Gracea fourth team player in the preseason magazine.
Heard will be a popular Kentucky Wildcat in all of these preseason features. The SEC veteran has 24 starts in the league and was third team All-SEC for Tennessee last year. Will Stone I can't wait to see what he can do in Lexington. “I’m really excited to be joining our team,” he recently told KSR. “How do we get it out into space?”
Rodriguez is poised for a big year in Stein's system, which likes to target tight ends. The Northern Kentucky native had 23 catches for 310 yards and a touchdown last fall.
Coleton Price has 30 career starts at Baylor. The veteran is the top-rated Wildcat in the new EA Sports college football video game. Like Price, Bryant will be captain of the Cats. Last year, the Lexington native led the SEC in surveillance.
Kentucky's defensive line is getting rest, but not by Athlon. Gadson and Humphrey-Grace will be players opposing fans around the SEC will be talking about this fall.
