The 2018 Kentucky Wildcats recruiting class ranked\u00a030th overall in the nation by Rivals <\/a> and 11th in the SEC. Both of those numbers are close to what the Cats have averaged under Mark Stoops<\/a>. However when you consider Kentucky lost their top committed offensive and defensive player that rating looks even better. While there is help for the future at all positions three in particular stand out. Let’s look at the Three Major Areas Kentucky Addressed With The 2018 Recruiting Class.<\/p>\n Of the 24 commitments in the 2018 class five of them are offensive linemen. Before it is all over this could be one of the best classes up front for the Cats ever. The group is headed by US Army All-American Darian Kinnard.<\/strong> The six foot six 318 pound tackle out of Cleveland St. Ignatius<\/strong> chose Kentucky over a host of Big Ten schools. For more info on Kinnard check out his recruiting profile. <\/a><\/p>\n Offensive guard Marquann McCall\u00a0<\/strong>ranks as the Cats’ top incoming player. The six foot three 323 pound McCall ranks as the third best player in the state of Michigan<\/strong> and number 138 in the nation. Previously that state had never been recruited by Kentucky. McCall chose the Cats over Jim Harbaugh and home state Michigan.<\/a><\/p>\n The 2018 Kentucky offensive line class is so strong the coaching staff is planning on moving McCall to the defensive line. By switching sides of the ball he helps a definite position of need for the Cats.<\/p>\n In addition to Kinnard and McCall the 2018 class is rounded out by Nick Lewis,<\/strong> a six foot eight tackle who flipped from Washington State<\/strong> to Kentucky.<\/p>\n Welcome to the family, Nick Lewis! \ud83d\udd35\u26aa\ufe0f @_nicklewis_<\/a> #BluegrassBound18<\/a> #nsd18<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Nfo5R0dQO7<\/a><\/p>\n — Kentucky Football (@UKFootball) February 7, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nHelp On The Offensive Line<\/h4>\n
