Kentucky has bee none of the more pleasant surprises in the SEC this season, and edge rusher Josh Allen is a big reason why. He has forced three fumbles, racked up eight sacks, and has defended nine passes already this season.

Allen leads the SEC in tackles for a loss this season, and has really gotten better every year during his college career. He is a guy who can play defensive end, or outside linebacker at the next level, and should reach double-digits sacks in a season for the first time in his career in 2018.
