The best friend of a new quarterback is a good tight end. The Kentucky Wildcats will feature a new starting quarterback in 2024, and they’ll hope one of the tight ends steps up and develops into a star for the team.
The Wildcats don’t have a returning tight end who had big numbers in 2023, but they do bring back some experience. They have a solid mix of veterans and newcomers on the roster.
Jordan Dingle is the favorite to take on the lead role at tight end. The 6’4″, 238 lb Junior had 12 catches for 270 yards last season. He’ll get the first shot at the starting job.
Khamari Anderson is a talented Sophomore out of Detroit. The former four star recruit hasn’t played a lot, but could command much more playing time in 2024.
Another returning player with some experience is Josh Kattus. His blocking ability will get him onto the field
Tanner Lemaster and Jack Monday will also try to get into the tight end rotation.
There is plenty of experience and talent at tight end for Kentucky, but not a lot of past production. Like the rest of the Wildcats offense, there are lots of unknowns to figure out before the season begins.
