Ahead of the 2022 season, the Southeastern Conference released its Preseason Coaches All-SEC Teams. The teams were voted on by coaches from all 14 SEC teams. Six Kentucky Wildcats were honored across the three teams.

Senior running back, Chris Rodriguez Jr., made the first team. Senior offensive guard, Kenneth Horsey, made the second team. Senior quarterback, Will Levis, senior wide receiver, Tayvion Robinson, and graduate student linebackers, Jacquez Jones and Deandre Square, all made the third team.

Each of these players is primed for a significant season for the Wildcats. Kentucky enters the 2022 season ranked in the top 25 and a contender in the SEC.
