Chad Johnson and his daughter are visiting Kentucky Track today
If you see Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson walking around Kentucky’s campus today, your eyes are not deceiving you. The former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver tweeted today that he’s accompanying his daughter Cha’iel, a high school track star, to Lexington on a visit. Cha’iel, a senior at St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is a three-time state high school champion in the 800 meters with a personal record of 2:07.83. She’s fast.
Based on her social media, Cha’iel has visited LSU and Tennessee so far. Like her dad, she’s got plenty of confidence:
While his daughter tours campus, Chad is down to play some FIFA if anyone’s game (he plays soccer now with The Nati SC, the Cincinnati team competing in TST, the World Championship of 7v7 soccer). Former Kentucky Football player Ben Drake has already thrown his hat in the ring.
Shameless KSBar plug for Ochocinco and Cha’iel
You may remember that Chad and Cha’iel visited Tennessee the same weekend the Volunteers hosted Kentucky, and Chad wore a Hendon Hooker jersey to the game. Prior to going to Neyland Stadium, he left a $1,000 tip on a $14.29 bill at a Knoxville IHOP, a pretty awesome habit of his. He also wrote that he didn’t know the words to “Rocky Top” (which is probably, sadly, no longer the case following the 44-6 rout):
Chad, if you’re reading this, you’re welcome to come to KSBar. We’ve got a lot of really awesome servers and will make the wings 85 cents each in your honor.
