Kentucky football hasn’t had a player of Dane Key‘s caliber in a long time. Speedy, 6-foot-3 wide receivers with baseball gloves for hands don’t just grow on trees — and they certainly don’t choose the Wildcats.
But the Kentucky staff has worked for years to land a prospect like Key. It surely helped that he grew up in Lexington, attended Frederick Douglass, and his dad played for the ‘Cats, but Key could have gone almost anywhere in the country to play football. He was a consensus four-star recruit out of high school.
Instead, he decided to stay home, and he’s wasted no time showcasing just how important it is to have a wide receiver who can change an entire game with one single route.
