LEXINGTON, Ky. — When Kentucky cornerback Chris Westry wakes up at his apartment each morning, the first thing he sees are the people closest to him.

His mother and grandmother are there. So are teammates Derrick Baity and Mike Edwards. UK assistant coaches Steve Clinkscale and Corey Edmond also make the cut.

The images of family, friends, teammates and teachers are part of more than 300 photographs affixed to Westry’s bedroom walls. The wall to the left of his bed is filled with pictures of his life before Kentucky.
