From vets to newcomers, grading Kentucky football position groups heading into 2023 season

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky football spent all offseason addressing its weaknesses and bolstering its strengths.

It needed a new starting quarterback and found one in transfer Devin Leary. The offensive line required reinforcements after a forgettable 2022, so coach Mark Stoops and the Wildcats added multiple linemen via the transfer portal. And the wide receiver room, already one of the best units on the team, could ascend to an even higher level this fall.

Here are The Courier Journal's grades for each position group heading into the 2023 season, heavily predicated upon college production to this point:

Quarterbacks

The group: Deuce Hogan (6-foot-4, 217 pounds, junior), Devin Leary (6-1, 217, sixth-year senior), Kaiya Sheron (6-3, 210, sophomore), Destin Wade (6-3, 223, redshirt freshman).
