The most successful Kentucky football run in generations was built on the backs of bruising offensive linemen. The Big Blue Wall had a reputation as one of the nastiest, most physical units in the SEC. Unfortunately, the mystique has eroded away. Will Stein has made it his mission to fortify the trenches with Cutter Leftwich, and it can’t happen without an exceptional recruiting operation.
Kentucky successfully navigated the treacherous transfer portal. That short-term success does not provide a long-term solution. For the offensive line, that can only happen in high school recruiting.
