The offensive line served as a cornerstone of the most successful Kentucky football run in decades. The Big Blue Wall was revered among fans as they watched the Wildcats road grade through SEC opponents. In recent years, the Big Blue Wall has slowly eroded. Once Will Stein took the program’s reins, rebuilding it was one of the first orders of business. He tasked Cutter Leftwich with the lofty assignment, and today he’s introducing himself to Big Blue Nation in a new edition of 11 Personnel No Huddle!

Leftwich is a former college offensive lineman from Texas who spent a year guiding the North Texas offensive line in between stints with Stein at Oregon. During his time in Eugene, the Ducks had one of the best offensive lines in all of college football. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

We’re not just talking about what the parking situation may look like for Kentucky football fans. There are other stories around college football that deserve your attention, like…

— What Kentucky Wildcats need to do at the NFL Combine

The early signing period came and went this week without Kentucky officially adding anyone else to the 2026 roster but that doesn’t mean things are quiet. A busy January has come to a close this week and there is a lot to unpack. Could a commitment wave arrive in February?

Things are heating up for the Cats on the recruiting trail.

The 11 Personnel crew is back for another episode in KSR’s virtual studios to discuss the latest with the Kentucky football program. Nick Roush and myself will talk Brady Hull, the behemoth recruiting spreadsheet that dropped on KSR+ this week, national media on Will Stein, Super Bowl best bets, and much more.
