CINCINNATI — The Bearcats have one of the best guards in the country as Luke Kandra earned second-team All-America honors from The Athletic and ESPN this week.
The Action Network had Kandra slotted as a top guard in the country on the first team.
Kandra was a third-team AP All-American last season after notching the third-best PFF grade of any power conference guard (81.8 overall). He is a main leader on this year's offense and could spearhead one of the nation's best-rushing attacks again.
Luke Kandra is one of PFF’s highest graded OG in the country and a key reason @GoBearcatsFB reached 200 rushing yards 9 times in ’23. @luke_kandra is a maneuverable and rangy mover; scheme versatile and athletic blocker who sustains while maintaining body control #ShrineBowl1000 pic.twitter.com/n1p4MM6YSF
