Chad Johnson is one of the most charismatic athletes to ever play in the National Football League. Ochocinco was a part of some wild games, and he’s ready to watch another one Saturday night at Kroger Field.

It’s homecoming for the Kentucky Wildcats. That’s setting the stage for a packed house under the lights. One of those in the stands will be Chad Johnson. Ochocinco said he’ll be “sitting in the student section to get the full experience.”

His daughter, Cha’iel, is a junior on the Kentucky women’s track team who holds the school record in the indoor 600m. The former Cincinnati Bengal wide receiver had to throw a little weight around to gear up for tonight’s game.

That was just one of many stops around campus for Ochocinco. He spent his Friday night rubbing elbows at Jeff Ruby’s. During his excursion at the Joe Craft Center, Johnson ran into Jayden Quaintance.

Ochocinco has been to a number of Kentucky football games in the past. His last trip to Lexington ended with a loss to Ole Miss. Hopefully, his new Kentucky football jersey brings a little more luck to Mark Stoops’ Cats.
