AthlonSports.com hit it right on the head. The Southeastern Conference is deeper and as good as ever with the additions of former Big 12 schools Missouri and Texas A&M. This is great for the SEC but does make the job at Kentucky a little harder but knowing this Joker Phillips has turned up the recruiting and as of today, we are seeing good things come out of Lexington.

This being said, one guy who will be a big part to this team and is one sign of bigger and better players going to UK as Athlon named offensive guard Larry Warford the 22nd best player in the conference. Here is what they said about the talented senior out of Richmond, KY.

22. Larry Warford, OG, Kentucky
Warford is probably one of the nation’s most underrated players. He enters 2012 with 25 consecutive starts and has earned All-SEC honors in each of the last two seasons. At 6-foot-3 and 343 pounds, Warford has the size and strength to be a road grader on the ground, while helping to keep opposing linemen off the quarterback. The senior is an Athlon Sports first-team All-SEC selection for 2012.
