Kentucky football star Wan'Dale Robinson closing in on NFL dream ahead of 2022 draft

LEXINGTON — Former Mr. Kentucky football and University of Kentucky star Wan’Dale Robinson’s dream is about to come true.

The Frankfort native who spent much of his teenage years training in Louisville has no trouble remembering one of his favorite Christmas presents. His mother gifted him several NFL player Fatheads — life-size stickers depicting players that are designed to be stuck on a wall.

“She has a video from Christmas,” Robinson said. “I have like seven Fatheads of football players, and I’m just hugging all of them.”
