Eli Cox suffers injury, "more than likely" out for the 2021 season

The Kentucky football injury report is growing. After suffering a season-long casualty on the defensive line, we now have on one the Big Blue Wall. Offensive guard Eli Cox suffered an injury against Tennessee that Mark Stoops said “more than likely” will sideline him for the rest of the 2021 season.

Cox has been arguably the greatest surprise for the Wildcats this season. A Nicholasville native, the West Jessamine product was an unheralded recruit when he signed in 2019. In his first season starting at right guard he has been turning heads across the country.
