2026 NFL draft preview: Kentucky offensive lineman Jalen Farmer
With the 2026 NFL Draft looming, here is where former Wildcat Jalen Farmer is projected to land at the next level.
The 2026 NFL draft week is upon us, as the first round is set for Thursday night at 8 P. M. ET on ESPN.
The Kentucky Wildcats will likely not have any players with their name called in the first round, but expect some Wildcats to hear their names called on day two and day three. Let's start with interior offensive lineman Jalen Farmer. Farmer is a 6'4, 312-pound strong guard that moves well for his size.
There's a good chance he will be the first Wildcat to hear his name called, as he has gauged a ton of interest from multiple NFL teams throughout the draft process. It started with his impressive performance at the NFL combine posting a 4. 93 40-yard dash time and 37 reps on the bench press.
Farmer had a good season at Kentucky, but many thought he would return for another year. However, he has great tools at guard and has a lot of untapped potential. Farmer ranks at No.
