Chris Oats meets Ray Lewis
The University of Kentucky’s Chris Oats got to meet his childhood hero, Ray Lewis, earlier in the month. Lewis’ son has joined the Wildcats as a wide receiver, giving Oats the chance to meet his football hero.
Oats starred for the Kentucky defense as a middle linebacker. That changed when he suffered a major stroke in the spring of 2020. Now rehabilitating, the Cincinnati native is working hard to regain his mobility.
On Sep. 11, Oats and his family made the trip to Kroger Field to watch the Wildcats take on Missouri. On the sideline before kickoff he met his favorite middle linebacker, Hall of Famer Ray Lewis.
Oats was overjoyed, to say the least. Lewis shared some words of encouragement to help Oats get back on his feet. The young Wildcat might have shed a tear or two.
Oats received the spotlight Saturday night. Introduced to a standing ovation at a near capacity Kroger Field crowd, Oats responded with a smile from ear to ear and waved his white pom-pom back to the crowd.
