Four-star wideout Dane Key has both Kentucky and South Carolina high on his list of prospective schools in his recruitment. Kentucky is the hometown school where his father, Donte, played linebacker in the early-to-mid 1990s; South Carolina the SEC East rival trying to poach Key from Kentucky’s own backyard with promises of early playing time.
On Saturday, the Gamecocks hosted Key for his official visit to Columbia. A gamble for Shane Beamer’s program, South Carolina of course played Kentucky on Saturday with Key on the sideline to watch two of his top options play head-to-head. The hope there is South Carolina would beat Kentucky in front of Key to give Beamer a bump in the recruitment.
