UK Football hosts Marine evacuees from Hurricane Florence

Tomorrow is Heroes Day at Kroger Field, and the UK football team got it started in tremendous fashion.

Hurricane Florence is currently underway in the Carolinas, and those on the coast were strongly recommended to evacuate the area. Some of those individuals? A group of Marines stationed in Jacksonville, North Carolina, who ended up all the way here in Kentucky to wait while the storm passes.

The University of Kentucky reached out to those sticking around the area for a while, asking them to come check out the football facilities, led by none other than former KSR football aficionado and UK quarterback Freddie Maggard.
