Sacha Killeya-Jones admits football was first love; Wants to get UK a national title

Often the overlooked man of Kentucky's stacked 2016 class, Sacha Killeya-Jones is a special type of talent who wasn't always in love with the sport he now plays.

In an interview with the News Advance, Killeya-Jones admitted that football was his first love, but how he would soon fall in love with the sport he's now excelling at.

"Football was really my first love. I played basketball when I was younger but I wasn’t good and I didn’t like it. I played football up until sophomore year. I really stopped playing because I was too tall and too skinny to be a quarterback.
