Tayvion Robinson named top 25 wide receiver in college football
Every week, On3 is releasing positional rankings in preparation for the upcoming weekend of college football. For Kentucky, not a ton of people are paying attention to the Wildcats as they’ve quietly handled business against two MAC opponents and one FCS foe during a three-game homestand to begin the season.
Things are now going to heat up with SEC play beginning this weekend when the Wildcats take on Vanderbilt on the road. Offensive coordinator Liam Coen‘s unit will look to take advantage of a leaky secondary in FirstBank Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Devin Leary will be targeting a top-25 receiver during the contest.
