I'm going to cheat and say the MVP will be the OL and the DT positions. It's all about the line of scrimmage and it's pertinent that the OL provides the QB time and opens up holes for the RB's. The DT's will be the strength of our defense and garner double teams and free up the LB's to do their thing.
If I'm forced to go to one person then I'll say Smith for Offense and Dupree for D. Landon Foster for ST as his punting and ability to flip the field will be crucial.
Stoopified!

I'll play and will cheat by giving an O and D MVP. lol. I'd say on D, though it's a tough call, I'm going to go with Williamson. He'll be the backbone of the Defense, and while Dupree may be the guy who makes the spectactular plays, I think Williamson's leadership, as well as his play on the field, this fall will be key for our D.
On offense, again, a tough one - do you go with a skill player, or an OL like Smith/Warford? Those guys are going to be counted on heavily to get our offense moving in the right direction. However, for me it's between LaRod King and Max Smith....and I'll go with Smith, b/c he's the guy that's going to be responsible for moving the chains, putting the ball where our WRs can catch it, and ultimately will be the leader of this offense this year. By all accounts, he's taken very well to the leadership role.

I think you could make the argument that Larry Warford is the best overall player on UK's team.
Bama's site named him as the No. 2 guard in the league:

Alright, on offense I think that CoShik is gonna be the MVP for them. He showed last year his ability to keep the yards on the ground moving, and don't forget he was the one who scored the lone touchdown for us to put an end to that horrible losing streak to Tennessee. On defense I think that the combination of Rumph and Cobble will the the MVP's for them. I think the LB's will benefit GREATLY from having two big hogmollies in the middle to eat up the blockers and allow them to roam freely and make tackles, because as some of you have said Avery has the ability to have a 120+ tackle season or better, and I think these 2 guys will be a big reason why.

People forget how well Williams ran in stretches last season.

I would eliminate running backs by virtue of the fact we have so many that no one will get enough snaps to be an MVP. I would eliminate the line becasue of the simple fact, O-lineman never get MVP honors (unfortunately). So on offense that leaves QBs and receivers. I hope Smith is the MVP becasue if so that means the offense will have had a pretty big year. But I look for one of the receivers to put up some big numbers this year. With the additional of Collins, Sweat, the new and improved Robinson and maybe a dark horse or two, LaRod King should get a lot of single coverage this year so the stage is set for the senior to have a big year. So on offense I go with the go-to guy LaRod King.
On defense Dupree is a great choice since he is a super young talent, but another guy that I would watch is McDuffen. He is a talented guy, and he steps into Travathon's spot. The Willbacker gets a lot of tackle opportunities in this defense so he will have a chance to step into the limelight rather quickly. The smart money is on Dupree but I'll put McDuffen out there as a name to watch.

I originally went with Coshik and Caffey in another thread a few weeks ago.. Guess I need to change that now unfortunately.
O- Coshik Williams
D- Avery Williamson
