For one of the most successful Kentucky punters in recent memory, things were never easy internally throughout his career — or entire life — until today.
In a post on SB Nation's Outsports page on Wednesday, former Kentucky punter Landon Foster pushed a previously closed door into his personal life open, announcing that he is openly gay.
In the post, Foster explains that he was in his own "isolate" world at UK, trying to navigate what others defined as perfection for a young man and finding out what it meant for him.
"For the entirety of my adolescence and college career, I thought being 'perfect' was the path to a successful and happy life," Foster wrote.
