How David Wohlabaugh’s Football Family led him to Kentucky

David Wohlabaugh’s upbringing wasn’t like most, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

The 6-foot-6 inch 280-pound offensive tackle from Akron, Oh. signed with the University of Kentucky Wednesday morning to become the third member of his family to play Power Five football. Wohlabaugh will graduate high school this month and enroll at UK in January. An extraordinary accomplishment, it’s sort of routine in the Wohlabaugh family.

David’s older brother, Jack, started his college football career at Ohio State before transferring to Duke. After suffering season-ending injuries in consecutive seasons, he’ll return to Durham for one last ride in 2021.
