Kash Daniel Rediscovered Joy Following Battle with Depression

Kash Daniel’s senior year did not go according to plan.

In discussion about his Kentucky career with Matt Jones on Kentucky Sports Radio, the UK linebacker revealed that despite his confident facade, he struggled with depression in his final months on campus.

I was in a deep, deep dark place mentally throughout this whole year. I suffer from depression. That’s one thing a lot of people don’t know about me. I have this persona of this confident, ya know, kind of almost brash dude, but that’s my persona. That’s what I use to have people try to live vicariously through me, to have this excitement around Kentucky football, embrace and bring a sense of swag to it.
