Wilson Berry did not get exactly what you would call a “warm welcome” when he arrived in Lexington this spring to begin his Kentucky football career.
“I got off the plane and it was snowing,” the Australian punter laughed on the Behind Kentucky Football Podcast. “I hope that’s not the norm.”
Fortunately, that was not his first impression of Central Kentucky. Unlike almost every other former Australian Rules Football player that took their talents to the American collegiate level, Berry previously visited the University of Kentucky’s campus. It was not a recruiting visit. He was in town three years ago for his brother’s wedding.
