Even though magazines are sadly no longer a regularly used medium, the college football world is still producing them ahead of each season. Athlon Sports is firing up its summertime tradition and a couple of Kentucky Wildcats are considered among the best of the best in the SEC. <\/p>\n
Six Kentucky Wildcats earned<\/a> Preseason All-SEC Honors from Athlon. Left tackle Lance Heard<\/a> is a Second Team All-SEC offensive tackle. Four players are on the Third Team: TE Willie Rodriguez<\/a>, C Coleton Price<\/a>, S Ty Bryant<\/a>, and DT Tavion Gadson<\/a>. We finish with DE Mi\u2019Quise Humphrey-Grace<\/a>, a fourth-teamer in the preseason magazine. <\/p>\n Heard will be a popular Kentucky Wildcat in all of these preseason features. The SEC veteran has 24 starts in the league and was a Third Team All-SEC selection last year for Tennessee. Will Stein<\/a> can\u2019t wait to see what he can do in Lexington. \u201cI\u2019m so fired up to have on our team,\u201d he recently told KSR<\/a>. \u201cHow do we get him out in space?\u201d <\/p>\n Rodriguez is poised for a big year in Stein\u2019s system, which enjoys targeting tight ends. The Northern Kentucky native tallied \u202f23 catches for\u202f310 yards\u202fand one\u00a0touchdown last fall. <\/p>\n Coleton Price has 30 career starts under his belt at Baylor. The veteran is the highest-rated Wildcat<\/a> in the new EA Sports College Football video game. Like Price, Bryant will be a captain for the Cats. Last year, the Lexington native led the SEC in interceptions. <\/p>\n Kentucky\u2019s defensive line is being slept on, but not by Athlon. Gadson and Humphrey-Grace will be players that opposing fans around the SEC will be talking about this fall. <\/p>\n KSR has been delivering UK Sports news in the most ridiculous manner for almost two decades.
