Kentucky's roster is full of Florida boys (
errr 'Flawda Boyz') who will be traveling back home for tomorrow's game. Some of them will be playing in their home state for the first time, while others will be making a second trip to the Swamp to play against the school that passed them up out of high school.
You may remember, a young Garrett Johnson burst onto the scene with six catches for 154 yards and two touchdowns as a true freshman in 2015. Johnson grew up in nearby Winter Garden and never received a scholarship offer from the Gators. Many other Wildcats hope to shine just like he did in that third game of his career. Here's a list of those Florida-born Cats:
