Kentucky fans expected to see No. 22 making plays from the middle linebacker position in 2020. A tragic, unexpected medical condition has sidelined Cincinnati native Chris Oats for the season. To pay tribute to their friend and teammate, the Wildcats will make sure No. 22 in Kentucky blue is still making plays on Saturdays.
Each week one player will salute Oats by wearing his jersey. The first person to put on No. 22 is the linebacker who was expected to make plays at his side this season, DeAndre Square.
It’s an honor? #22STRONG I am my brothers keeper?
