UK Football Makes Offer to 6’6″ 350-lb 8th Grader
Kentucky is arguably the top basketball program in the country. They lead all programs in wins, all-time. So, naturally, UK is making big FOOTBALL news this week. And I mean BIG.
Kentucky has made an offer to a kid who is 6'6" and weighs 350 pounds...and he's THIRTEEN YEARS OLD.
(By the way, he weighed 345 when the video below was uploaded to YouTube. Hey, he's a growing boy.)
Yes, Kiyaunta Goodwin is still growing. If he were to play for the 'Cats right now, he'd be the team's second-biggest player.
Goodwin, from Louisville, will enter the 8th grade this fall and the Kentucky offer is his first from a Division I school.
