3. Jaden Williams - NT

On the defensive side of the ball, having a run-stopper is also incredibly important to Stoops. Losing Deone Walker to the NFL is a big blow for the Wildcats, but adding Williams will help a lot. He's huge, and he takes up double teams. He can do what Stoops needs along the line, which is to get in the way of runs, fill holes, and take double teams.

4. Zach Calzada - QB

Calzada may be the right fit for Bush Hamdan's system, but he's not the flashy portal pick-up. There's moxy to him, and he can improvise on the fly. Hopefully, his SEC experience and his development at Incarnate Word translates to success at Kentucky.

5. Joshua Braun - G

Part of the rebuilding of the offensive line and a great addition. He was 83 rating by PFF and comes with SEC experience. I think Kentucky fans will like what they get from Braun, especially in the run game. He has a little bit of a brawler instinct to him.

6. Kendrick Law - WR

Law is considered an old-school wide receiver because of his gritty style of play. He is a great run blocker and willing to set up plays for his teammates. Law will be a really strong addition to the Hamdan system, but it will rarely be splashy, and a lot of his impact will go unnoticed but be key to wins.
