  01/19/21 - *Dare Rosenthal, rJr/2022, Kentucky, 6-7, 290 (DS#14 OT) + More +

  On the final day college players had to declare for the NFL draft, LSU starting left tackle Dare Rosenthal instead announced Monday night that he is returning to campus next season, which means the Tigers will be returning their entire starting offensive line. The development is a major victory for LSU coach Ed Orgeron, who began the offseason by saying he would be focusing efforts on re-recruiting players for next season, particularly on the offensive line. Rosenthal's decision was the final one LSU's line was waiting on, although Orgeron and several teammates have been hinting at his likely return for several weeks. LSU starting right tackle Austin Deculus announced last week that he will be returning for next season, joining left guard Ed Ingram, center Liam Shanahan, and right guard Chasen Hines. - Baton Rouge Advocate

  Former Western Hills High School star Wan'Dale Robinson is coming home. The 2018 Mr. Kentucky Football announced Friday he is transferring from Nebraska to Kentucky.

Robinson appeared in eight games during the coronavirus-shortened 2020 season, catching 51 passes for 461 yards and one touchdown and rushing 46 times for 240 yards and one touchdown. - Courier Journal

A third-team All-American according to the Associated Press, Kinnard has played in 32 games across the last three seasons with 24 consecutive starts at tackle. He graded out at 88% in 10 games this season with 40 knockdown blocks and 138 blocks at the point of attack, according to a UK news release. - Courier Journal

  01/03/21 - Kenneth Horsey, rSr/2024, Kentucky, 6-4, 313 (DS#42 OG) + More +

  2020 MAYO CLINIC NATIONAL COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR WINNER: Kentucky offensive lineman Kenneth Horsey,...Horsey, who hails from Sanford, Florida, has a remarkable comeback story. In the spring of 2018, before he was to arrive at Kentucky for his freshman season, he was complaining of a pain in his side. His parents rushed him to the emergency room where doctors ultimately found a growth on one of his heart valves. He went through open-heart surgery on April 8, 2018 and was even told by a few doctors that football was over. However, Horsey would not be deterred.

He came to Kentucky and redshirted the 2018 season with a goal of earning a starting spot on Kentucky's offensive line, affectionately known as the "Big Blue Wall." In 2019, he saw action in four games and continued to train and prepare his body for the rigors of the Southeastern Conference. Since his surgery in 2018, he has lost 50 pounds and because of his hard work and dedication, has earned the starting left guard spot on the "Big Blue Wall." Even a broken left hand, which required surgery during pre-season camp, did not get in the way. He started in eight games played this season, helping the Wildcats rank fifth in the Southeastern Conference in rushing offense (187.4). - Kentucky Football

  01/02/21 - Asim Rose, rSr/2021, Kentucky, 6-1, 215 (DS#32 RB) + More +

  A.J. Rose ran for a career-high 148 yards, Chris Rodriguez added 84 yards and two scores and Kentucky held off No. 24 North Carolina State 23-21 in a chippy TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on Saturday. Christopher Dunn missed two field goals for the Wolfpack (8-4), who trailed 16-14 late when Bailey Hockman threw his third interception of the game. Rodriguez scored on the ensuing play, going nearly untouched for 26 yards.

NC State got a final chance after Jordan Houston scored with 1:10 remaining. But Allen Dailey recovered Dunn's onside kick, and the Wildcats (5-6) ran out the clock. Coach Mark Stoops got a Gatorade bath following the team's third straight bowl victory, which ended a tumultuous season that included the loss of offensive line coach John Schlarman. - AP College Football

  12/29/20 - Darian Kinnard, Sr/2022, Kentucky, 6-5, 328 (DS#6 OG) + More +

  Kinnard will play in this weekend's bowl game but is mulling a decision on whether to enter the NFL Draft. He was one of five underclassmen (the maximum allowed) on whose behalf head coach Mark Stoops solicited pre-draft evaluations from the league, and those official evaluations have not yet been sent back. UK and Kinnard remain in a stage of information-gathering at this point in the process.

"Darian's been very thorough," Stoops said Monday. "He's been trying to talk to as many people as he can. I've tried to get him as much information as I can...I believe Darian will lean heavily on that (NFL) information. I'm not sure. We've had talks. I'm not gonna constantly try to persuade Darian one way or another. My job is to get as much actual facts that I can from real people, from NFL people, and not people just telling him everything he wants to hear, because that's one of the problems that happens with juniors." - Herald Leader
