Darian Kinnard makes On3's Midseason All-America Team
More honors are pouring in for Darian Kinnard, one of the stars of Kentucky’s Big Blue Wall. This morning, the senior offensive tackle made On3’s Midseason All-American Team. Also on the offensive line: Ikem Ekwonu (NC State), Evan Neal (Alabama), Nicholas Petit-Frere (Ohio State), and Tyler Linderbaum (Iowa).
“Kinnard is an absolute road-grader in the running game and has done a solid job in pass protection,” On3’s Mike Huguenin wrote.

Kinnard has played in 39 career games with 32 consecutive starts at right tackle. Pro Football Focus grades him as college football’s top run-blocking tackle. This summer, he was named Preseason First-Team All-American by almost every outlet. He’s also on the watch list for the Outland Trophy and the Reese’s Senior Bowl.
Behind Darian Kinnard and the rest of the Big Blue Wall, Kentucky’s rushing attack is flourishing this season. Kentucky’s 214.2 rushing yards per game rank fifth in the SEC, 23rd in the nation. Last Saturday, the Cats rushed for 330 rushing yards vs. LSU, averaging 7.7 yards per rush.
Go Cats. Go Kinnard.
