Back on Kentucky Media Day, a teary-eyed Mark Stoops announced sophomore defensive lineman Josh Paschal and offensive line coach John Schlarman were each battling serious illnesses, later diagnosed as cancer for both of them. Through the pain, Schlarman continued to coach while Paschal eventually worked his way back onto the football field.
Today, the KYWildcatsTV crew is set to release a documentary on Paschal’s journey back to the football field, and if you’ve ever seen their work, you already know it’s going to be special.
Here is the description of the video:
Josh Paschal was diagnosed with the malignant melanoma on the bottom of his right foot just before fall camp opened and endured three surgeries, followed by ongoing monthly immunotherapy treatments.
