Pro Football Focus recently named the best returning player for each team in the SEC and Kentucky C Jon Toth took the honor for the Wildcats heading into 2016. Toth, entering his senior season, was recently named to the Outland Trophy and Rimington Trophy Watch Lists as one of the best offensive linemen in the country. Here is what PFF College had to say about Kentucky’s best offensive lineman:
“The Wildcats might not have the most talented roster in the SEC, but they do have one of the best offensive linemen in the conference. Impressive as a run blocker, screen blocker and in pass protection, Toth had graded positively in each of the past two seasons. In 2015 he allowed a sack, three hits and four hurries, and at +4.9 he had the best pass blocking grade among returning centers in the SEC.”
Here is the best returning player from every other team:
Alabama: Jonathan Allen, DE
Arkansas: Deatrich Wise Jr., DE
Auburn: Carl Lawson, DE
Florida: Jalen Tabor, CB
Georgia: Nick Chubb, HB
LSU: Leonard Fournette, HB
