All of these 4 players were special to the Cats all season.
Senior defensive lineman Bud Dupree was named third-team All-America and first-team All-SEC, while redshirt freshman kicker Austin MacGinnis was also first-team All-SEC. Junior linebacker Josh Forrest was third-team All-SEC, while true freshman running back Boom Williams was Freshman All-America as a kickoff return specialist.
Dupree, who was first-team All-SEC by The Associated Press and league coaches, led all SEC defensive linemen with 74 total tackles. He paced the Wildcats with 12.5 tackles for loss, including 7.5 quarterback sacks, ranking among the SEC leaders in both categories. Dupree was named SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week after intercepting a pass and returning it for the game-winning touchdown vs. South Carolina and was chosen National Defensive Lineman of the Week and SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week following the season finale at No. 22 Louisville.[/b
The accolade adds to a list of postseason honors for MacGinnis, who has been named a first-team All-SEC performer by The Associated Press and league coaches, All-SEC Freshman Team by league coaches and first-team Freshman All-America by Scout.com.
Williams, who was named to the Sporting News All-True Freshman Team earlier in the week, led Kentucky in kickoff returns with 19 returns for 511 yards and a 26.9 average. Williams ranks second in the nation amongst true freshmen in kickoff return average, checking in 11th overall. Williams’ longest return of the season was 75 yards against ULM, marking the longest kickoff return for Kentucky since 2009.
