SEC Football: Ranking each of the conference’s starting quarterbacks
By John Fye
No. 9 – Devin Leary
Year: Senior
Team: Kentucky Wildcats
2022 Passing Stats: 118 completions, 1,265 yards, 11 touchdowns
Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops prolonged his habit of bringing in notable transfer quarterbacks. His latest move is Devin Leary, a transfer from North Carolina State. As such, Leary brings four years of starting quarterback experience to Lexington.
Leary’s 2021 passing stats were enough to make fantasy football players drool. Unfortunately, his 2022 campaign ended prematurely because of a pectoral tear. Many fans will recall the ill-fated injury that occurred during the third quarter of the Wolfpack’s 19-17 upset win over Florida State.
Leary is a true gamer who, if healthy, makes the Wildcats a legitimate threat in the SEC East.
