Dane Key is no stranger to lofty expectations. The son of a former Wildcat, an All-State performer and four-star receiver living in the city of Lexington, he’s heard the good and the bad throughout his teenage years. In the midst of the mania, Key has thrived, culminating with a touchdown on his first reception as a Wildcat at Kroger Field.
“It feels good. Putting that Kentucky blue on for the first time in the spring game, it was something special,” Key said Tuesday morning. “Just walking through the crowd, I know it wasn’t as packed as it will be for that first home game, but it’s something special to be able to suit up for my hometown and being able to go out there and show what I can do.
