It’s been a big week for Kentucky linebacker Chris Oats. It started with walking his big sister down the aisle at her wedding last weekend, a significant milestone after suffering a stroke in May of 2020.
And then this weekend, the Cincinnati native was honored as the Grand Marshall at his former high school’s homecoming on Friday.
“Chris high (school) honored him at homecoming today,” Oats’ mother, Kemberly Gamble, shared on social media. “He was the Grand (Marshall). Like I always (say), go Warriors.”
A former star at Winton Woods High School in Cincinnati, Oats was invited back as the honorary Grand Marshall, where he got out of his wheelchair and walked out to the school’s midfield logo during the homecoming matchup.
