Thanks to the COVID-19 season in 2020, the NCAA granted an additional year of eligibility to any FBS football player. College football is now entering the second season of the super senior in 2021.
Last fall, that paid off significantly for the Wildcats as Luke Fortner returned to school and became one of the top centers in college football. Meanwhile, Josh Ali was back and was a very productive No. 2 option behind Wan’Dale Robinson in the passing game.
In 2022, Kentucky will again have some important extra year eligibility players back with nine super seniors on the roster.
