Long, athletic tackle with SEC upside
In the 2025 season, Darrin Strey was a redshirt freshman offensive lineman for Kentucky who saw limited action, appearing in four games and logging 18 offensive snaps while preserving a year of eligibility. He’s the kind of developmental tackle teams chase: a towering 6-foot-7 frame, strong multi-sport background, and real movement potential that evaluators liked enough to tag him as a top-25 offensive tackle coming out of high school. The fit question is simple: if you want a high-ceiling swing tackle who can grow into SEC power and patience, he’s intriguing; if you need an instant plug-and-play starter, not yet.
