The Kentucky men's basketball team embraced during a moment of silence as they honored former walk-on Ben Jordan
Ben Jordan who loved his Kentucky Wildcats passes away at just 22 years old.
Simply put Ben Jordan loved all things about the Kentucky Wildcats and his dream to play at UK was fulfilled in more ways than he could imagine. But on Monday that was cut short with the news of his passing that stunned players, coaches, and all of Big Blue Nation at a mere 22-years old.
Jordan came to Kentucky to play baseball for the Bat Cats but also jumped at the chance to step onto the floor of Rupp Arena for the basketball team last year when coach John Calipari didn’t have enough bodies to practice with.
