Ahead of tonight’s Blue-White Game, Kentucky Basketball has added another walk-on to the squad: UK Baseball player Ben Jordan. Jordan is a right-handed pitcher for the Bat Cats, but at 6’9″ 250 lbs., will be a forward for the basketball team. He played both sports at West Carter High School in Olive Hill, Kentucky, where he was the team’s all-time leading rebounder and shot blocker.
“Like so many others in the state of Kentucky, basketball has been a part of my life since I was just a kid,” Jordan said in a release from UK.
