LEXINGTON – Josh Paschal never doubted Kentucky football teammate Landon Young was an ally.
But when Young, a white offensive tackle who stayed in shape during the coronavirus shutdown by rolling hay bales on his family farm, was among the UK football players to voice support during the team’s Black Lives Matters march in downtown Lexington, Paschal, a black defensive lineman from near Washington, D.C., still took notice.
“It’s not a surprise to me, just because I know what type of guy he is,” Paschal said Tuesday on a Zoom news conference with local reporters.
