The Big Blue Wall is piecing itself back together in New Orleans, and this time, it’s for an assignment that may make Kentucky fans do a double-take: protecting a Louisville quarterback.
According to Tom Pelissero, the Jaguars are sending former Kentucky center Luke Fortner to the Saints in the Khalen Saunders trade. Fortner, who logged 55 career games with 36 consecutive starts in Lexington from 2016–2021, was one of the anchors of the Big Blue Wall. He played both right guard and center while helping Kentucky’s offensive line earn Joe Moore Award recognition four straight years, including a finalist finish in 2021.
