Kiyaunta Goodwin, Deone Walker make Preseason Freshman All-American Teams

The star-studded 2022 Kentucky football recruiting class continues to draw praise from across college football. On Thursday Kiyaunta Goodwin and Deone Walker were named to True Freshman All-American Teams by two separate media outlets.

Goodwin, a 6-foot-8, 350-pound offensive tackle from Louisville received an All-American projection from ESPN. The highest-ranked signee in Kentucky football history, Goodwin is a five-star product that can fill in a position of need for the Wildcats at left tackle. Tom Luginbill and Tom VanHaaren share their assessment:

The Wildcats are replacing four of five starters on the offensive line, so Goodwin’s arrival this spring could not have come at a more opportunistic time.
