UK football player wanted to take a bus across campus — and ended up in Pikeville

As anyone who has ever started school at the University of Kentucky can attest, learning how to navigate the campus of the massive state university is daunting.

Many a former UK student — this one included — can regale you with a story of getting hopelessly lost in their first days on campus.

As a rule, however, those stories do not end with the student in Pikeville — 142 miles southeast of Lexington.

On June 22, Kentucky Wildcats freshman football player Jerquavion Mahone climbed on a bus he thought would take him from UK’s Joe Craft Football Training Facility to Chellgren Hall, his dormitory.
