Outlook
The defense's front seven has multiple question marks relative to the rest of the team. Will the JUCO defensive linemen taken in the 2015 class follow in the footsteps of Za'Darius Smith, Melvin Lewis, and Cory Johnson and show significant improvement in their second season of P5 play? Can Matt Elam take his "junior leap forward"?
Will the talented young linebackers UK signed in the 2014 and 2015 classes add enough bulk to contribute to the 2016 campaign? Will the P5 linebacker transfers immediately contribute?
We have until September 3rd to contemplate, debate, and ponder. What's inarguable is the entire group's importance to UK finding success in September, and then maintaining cruising altitude well into November. To do so requires broad development in the weightroom and on the practice field for many players who are being called to serve earlier than most of their SEC brethren.
