Kentucky Football Player Preview: Kash Daniel stepping up in Year 3

Paintsville, Kentucky native Kash Daniel was one of several in-state commitments in the Kentucky Wildcats’ 2016 recruiting class that garnered a lot of excitement among Kentucky football fans.

Daniel was named Kentucky Mr. Football and growing up in eastern Kentucky, he had dreams of donning the Wildcats uniform and playing in the SEC.

So far, through his first two seasons, Daniel has played behind Courtney Love, but has made an impact on special teams, especially for his motor and effort in an often forgotten part of the game.

But now, with Love graduated, Daniel has his opportunity to be a starting linebacker for the Wildcats this upcoming year.
