Return of Keaton Upshaw will allow Kentucky to enhance tight end usage

In 2021, Kentucky averaged 32.3 points per game and put together a top-25 offense without Keaton Upshaw in the lineup. The return of the versatile tight end could create more matchup problems for defenses.

The Lima (Ohio) Senior product suffered a chest injury over the summer and had to miss his entire redshirt junior season. Upshaw is now back for year five at Kentucky, and the versatile pass-catcher is looking to make a splash in Kentucky’s NFL scheme.

After pulling in 16 receptions for 193 yards and three touchdowns in 2020, Upshaw had to watch from the sidelines last fall.
