Kentucky signee Allen Dailey’s mother diagnosed with stage four breast cancer

Kentucky wide receiver commitment Allen Dailey signed with the Wildcats this morning, officially joining UK’s class of 2018.

The three-star talent caught 80 passes for 1,441 yards and 23 receiving touchdowns as a senior, leading his team to a Class 6A championship in the state of Alabama.

While his school celebrated Dailey’s big day, the receiver signee had his mind in another place.

Marilyn Dailey, Allen’s mother, was recently diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and wasn’t able to attend the signing day celebration as a result.

After making it official, Dailey was asked about his mother’s health and how he’s feeling through all of it.
