Some observations from Kentucky's 2026 spring football game
Will Stein's Kentucky Wildcats had their spring game today. Here are my observations from what I saw at Kroger Field.
The 2026 Kentucky Wildcats spring game came and went today as the storms rolled in over Kroger Field. Kentucky still got a ton of work in on the field before the rain hit. Blue team (offense) defeated the White team (defense) 23-18 in a highly competitive performance.
There is a ton to discuss and here are some observations from the spring game today. Mamba Drill Before the official team period of the spring game started, we got to see the "Mamba Drill". This is a fast-paced, high energy and competitive drill that the Wildcats have adopted under Will Stein.
It is essentially quick one-on-ones in the red zone, not just wide receivers versus cornerbacks but all one-on-one drills you see at the Senior Bowl. Wideouts versus cornerbacks, running backs versus linebackers and tight ends versus safeties in the pass game; one-on-one blocking drills between tackles and edge defenders, as well as interior offensive lineman versus defensive tackles. Offensive Line Shaping Up Starting left tackle Lance Heard was not out there, Will Stein said it is a minor injury that will sideline him for four weeks.
The starting offensive line group remained the same every drive Kenny Minchey was in at quarterback. Left tackle was Mark Robinson, left guard was Olaus Alinen, center was Coleton Price, Tegra Tshabola was at right guard where he played at Ohio State and Malachi Wood was at right tackle. I am under the impression after today that four starting spots are set in stone, but I do think Robinson and Wood will continue to battle for the right tackle spot throughout fall camp.
