Early life and education[]

After graduating from high school, Toth accepted a scholarship offer from University of Kentucky. As a true freshman, he sat out as a redshirt. Toth, in his second year, appeared in twelve games, starting the final eleven, and was named freshman All-SEC by league coaches. In addition to playing guard that year, he also saw time at the center position. He started all twelve games as a sophomore, and was named conference player of the week after the first game of the season. He again started every game as a junior.[1] He finished his college career with 48 straight starts, a school record.[2]
