Kentucky Football Countdown: No. 8 Octavious Oxendine

About Octavious Oxendine

Kentucky won a contested recruiting battle over Tennessee to secure a commitment from Octavious Oxendine. A talented defensive lineman from North Hardin High School, he’s better known by his teammates simply as “Ox.”

He played in three games in 2020 to retain a redshirt season.
