Benny Snell says he is glad he was snubbed by Ohio State

Benny Snell plays for Kentucky, as he says in his new Heisman campaign video, but there was a time when he wanted to play for Ohio State. Snell played his high school ball only 15 miles away from Ohio State’s campus and he grew up dreaming of carrying the rock for the Buckeyes.

But things didn’t work out that way (thankfully) and Snell is now one of the most beloved players in Kentucky football history. He’s already the school’s record-holder for touchdowns scored and he’s only a junior, and with the success he’s seen a busy schedule of media on his off-days.
