Ultimate CFB 138 Rankings Highlight The Big Ten And SEC's Battle For Supremacy

Mikkel Skinner - Touted as breakout candidate Skinner was identified as a breakout candidate for Kentucky football in a report shared Monday by John Clay IV of the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Impact The Kentucky tight end should be on the radar heading into the season even in a tight end room that also features Willie Rodriguez and Henry Boyer. The sophomore Skinner is lauded for his athleticism and has reportedly split out wide in the Wildcats' offense; new head coach and offensive guru Will Stein should have plenty of ways to get him the ball.

Tovani Mizell - Standing out in fall camp Mizell has been standing out in fall camp in recent days, according to Jeff Drummond of On3.com.

Impact "He's been impressive," head coach Will Stein said of Mizell. "You know, he was a highly recruited player... at some point, you gotta go out there and play. And Tovani's had a strong showing in the first three days." Kentucky features lots of two-back formations, and Mizell will probably get a chance to play if he stays ready as he has over the last few practices.

Nic Anderson - Missing start of fall camp Anderson (undisclosed) is not available to start fall camp but should return at some point before the season opener against Youngstown State on Sep. 5, according to Adam Luckett of...

Impact Anderson figures to be a key contributor on offense for Kentucky in 2025, and while his availability for the season opener will be determined by how quickly he returns to camp, he should be a go-to option on offense as soon as he's healthy and available. Anderson spent the 2025 season at LSU, where he caught 12 passes for 106 yards and two scores in nine contests.

Jovantae Barnes - Not available to start camp Barnes (undisclosed) is not available to start fall camp but should return at some point before the season opener against Youngstown State on Sep. 5, according to Adam Luckett of K...

Impact Barnes won't be available as the Wildcats open camp, but the star RB should return to practice at some point in the coming weeks. A former Oklahoma player who transferred to Kentucky in the offseason, he appeared in four games for the Sooners in 2025, tallying 45 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.

CJ Baxter - Feels 100 percent healthy Baxter (undisclosed) feels "100 percent healthy" ahead of training camp, according to Alaina Morris of The Louisville Courier Journal.

Impact Baxter missed a spring game due to an undisclosed injury, but he figures to be ready to go in training camp. Baxter, a transfer from Texas, is expected to be one of the Wildcats' top tailbacks alongside Oklahoma transfer Jovantae Barnes, and he could have a shot at opening the season as the RB1 when Kentucky takes on Youngstown State on Sep. 5 in its first game of the 2026 campaign.

Willie Rodriguez - Primed for key role in offense Rodriquez is expected to have a big role in Kentucky's offense for the 2026 season, per Darrell Bird of 247Sports.com.

Impact Rodriquez was praised by head coach Will Stein Monday at SEC Media Days, as the coach said, "Willie is one of the best tight ends in the country and is going to be a staple in our offense." The tight end emerged as a reliable target in 2025, hauling in 23 receptions for 310 yards and a touchdown. While Rodriguez will have a new quarterback under center this season, he will remain a top target in the Wildcats' passing attack.
