With Sowells off to NC State, my understanding is Kentucky is likely to take another offensive lineman who could potentially be slotted as a center.
However, the preference is to take a player who could easily project as a center or guard. One reason they apparently like Tucker Kattus is they believe he could legitimately play either center or guard in college. He might not be an obvious center but when evaluating him there's nothing there that would stop him from being really good there.
Sowells was a bit of an exception as a "pure center" that Kentucky pursued but you understand why. He was a Kentucky prospect and one of the top players in the state.
There are a couple of guys in UK's sights but I think they're waiting for things to materialize a little more before anything becomes imminent.
In short: I'd expect another iOL but don't narrow your sights to the pure/listed centers out there.
