Reggie Johnson watched the Miami Beach Bowl and was attracted to Western Kentucky’s football program.
“Guys were flying around and being athletic,” Johnson said. “They were making plays and were having fun.”
Chris Barclay grew up in Kentucky and thought about playing at WKU when he graduated from Male High School in 2002. Then he spent the last two years coaching against dynamic Hilltoppers squads.
“This program’s like a rocket ship right now,” Barclay said, “how quickly they’re able to generate success here.”
Now Barclay and Johnson get to be a part of the WKU football program.
