Will Stein is in Lexington working hard to get Kentucky where he believes it can be. After securing another big-time prospect on the offensive line, he took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the way he is looking to build the program.
"Brick by brick building to be the best."
The Wildcats' best years under Mark Stoops were years with an exceptional offensive line. More often than not, the team that wins is the team that can block the best. Stein's post was a signal to BBN and the rest of the SEC that the "Big Blue Wall" is under construction—and it matters because Kentucky just landed a big fish.

Tegra Tshabola commits to Kentucky
Former Ohio State guard Tegra Tshabola has decided to continue his college career in Kentucky.
The former 4-star prospect was a top-110 player in the Class of 2022. While he struggled with consistency at times at Ohio State and bore the brunt of some of their offensive struggles, his physical tools are undeniable.

OSU's interior OL in the spotlight again tonight. pic.twitter.com/bjn6Ae9207
At 6'6" and 322 pounds, he is a "road grader" on the inside. His addition underscores a massive overhaul of the offensive front.
Kentucky has now added a massive haul to the trenches:
- Tegra Tshabola (Ohio State)
- Coleton Price (Baylor)
- Lance Heard (Tennessee)
- Max Anderson (Tennessee)
- Olaus Alinen (Alabama)
- Mark Robinson (UTEP)
Stein will look to continue building the portal class with some playmakers, but it is clear he wants to build this team inside out.
Kentucky finds their new punter
When Jay Boulware was hired, he said they would no longer be doing a rugby-style punt, something Kentucky had great success with. That now may change again with Kentucky's newest punter coming from the same program that former Kentucky punter Max Duffy trained with, ProKick Australia. Duffy won the Ray Guy Award while at Kentucky, and now Tom O'Hara from Murray State will look to do the same.
