They have added another strong asset to their roster for their 2025 campaign: true freshman quarterback Michael Van Buren Jr. Michael decided to transfer to SEC rival school LSU after a rough 2-10 season with the Mississippi State Bulldogs. This addition, along with the six other transfers that have committed to the Tigers, will give this team depth next year on both sides of the ball.

The Kentucky football program underperformed tremendously throughout the 2024 season. The Wildcats were predicted to finish 11th in the SEC before the start of the season; they ended up finishing 1-7 in the conference, which earned them the second-to-last spot in the standings. After losing a massive rivalry game and having a nightmare of a season overall, Kentucky’s two most productive receivers are looking for a new school. The Cats struggled to generate any type of offensive rhythm the entire year; these hardships will likely continue with the loss of two of their most targeted receivers. Wildcat stars Dane Key…

Alabama’s offense couldn’t seem to get anything going; they were held scoreless in the final 3 quarters of the game. Road games in the SEC are extremely difficult to win, even against a 5-5 squad. Turnovers and sloppy play will lose you the game. The Sooners handed Bama their third loss of the season; the Tide haven’t lost three games in a season since 2010.
