No surprise here. Darian Kinnard is one of 80 linemen named to the preseason watch list for the Outland Trophy watch list. Awarded to the top interior lineman on either side of the ball, Kinnard is one of 26 offensive tackles in the early conversation for the 2021 Outland.
Kinnard’s new watch list selection can go on the mantle with his First Team All-SEC selection by the SEC media, Athlon Sports, our boy Phil Steele, Pro Football Focus and Walter Camp. PFF and Walter Camp also named Kinnard a First-Team All-American, while Phil Steele included the senior Wildcat among his Second Team All-Americans.
The third oldest award in college football, the Outland Trophy has one winner from Kentucky: Bob Gain in 1950.
Kinnard hopes to make it two when this year’s winner is announced at the Home Depot College Football Awards in December.
Go Cats.
