Auburn football: 5 Wildcats to watch in Week 1

At 6’4″ and 367 pounds, Quinton Bohanna is really hard to miss. Kentucky’s senior nose guard started all 13 games for the Wildcats last year and was solid. For the season, Bohanna recorded 18 tackles, three tackles for loss and one sack.

However, entering his final season with the Wildcats, Bohanna has become a popular breakout candidate among SEC media and has even generated some preseason All-SEC consideration.

Bohanna could be a problem for an Auburn offensive line that has to replace four of its five starters from last season. Not only that but Bohanna outweighs every O-lineman on the Tigers’ roster by nearly 30 pounds and will be a handful to deal with no matter who starts.

He’s not the best player on Kentucky’s defense but his impact is often left off the stat sheet and his size and ability to clog up the middle should be in the mind of new offensive coordinator Chad Morris.
