The Kentucky Wildcats coaching staff has had an impressive offseason, both in building the 2026 roster from the transfer portal, and in recruiting for 2027. The 2027 Kentucky class could get even better soon. They continue to work on the offensive line, and are in the running for Kaden Buchanan.
Buchanan is a 6’4″, 328 lb offensive lineman out of Tennessee who projects to be an interior lineman at the next level. He is currently rated four stars by 247Sports and is ranked as the No. 237 overall player in his class.

Offers came in from a number of top schools, but Buchanan has narrowed down his list to a final three, and Kentucky made the cut. The other two teams are Virginia Tech and North Carolina State. He has visited Lexington multiple times already, and is set to visit officially in June.
Coach Will Stein wants to build the offensive line, and Buchanan would certainly be a tremendous addition. No date has been set for a commitment yet, but we will update it once more information is available.
