Kentucky Depth Chart: Gator Bowl

On Christmas Day, the Kentucky football program will depart for Jacksonville to face No. 22 Clemson in the Gator Bowl on Dec. 29. After finishing of some high school and transfer portal recruiting on Wednesday, the Wildcats can now go all-in on bowl prep.

On Friday, the Wildcats released their depth chart for the upcoming postseason game that is now just a week away. As expected, Kentucky will be without starting right tackle Jeremy Flax and offensive guard Kenneth Horsey for the postseason. NFL Draft entrants Ray Davis, Andru Phillips, and Trevin Wallace will suit up and play for the Wildcats.
