ESPN/SEC Network college football analyst Cole Cubelic knows Kentucky has a “lot of concerns” going into next season but sees “holes starting to be plugged” during the offseason.

He likes the addition of offensive coordinator Liam Coen and thinks he’ll use “dynamic receivers” Barion Brown and Dane Key much like he did Wan’Dale Robinson in 2021 to give transfer quarterback Devin Leary big play targets.

“The offensive line needs to improve. That group wasn’t good last year. Liam Coen can move the pocket, get stretch plays going. They have got to keep Leary healthy,” Cubelic said.

However, the college football analyst doesn’t think nearly enough attention is being paid to the addition of running back Ray Davis from Vanderbilt.

“Ray Davis will get it done. He’s tough, physical, big,” Cubelic said. “He doesn’t have super breakaway speed but he can get you explosive plays. He is exactly what they need in this system. He’s a little bit more physical, a little less shifty than Chris Rodriguez.

“He has not played in a system that allowed him to be successful. He will be big for Liam Coen’s offense and that could help keep Devin Leary healthy. I think Kentucky made a big hit getting Liam, you know about Leary but don’t forget about Ray Davis.”
