LOOK: Several Kentucky athletes graduated this afternoon

This afternoon, the University of Kentucky had 35 student-athletes walk across the stage and receive their diplomas, marking the end of a long journey at the school. There were several current stars and popular past names that all deserve applause on such a big day. First up, we had UK quarterback Stephen Johnson with a few other football players posing after graduation: https://twitter.com/stephen_h_j/status/941822060807852032 Kentucky receiver Garrett "Juice" Johnson with his family: https://twitter.com/_TeamG/status/941827514980171776 Former basketball players Erik Daniels and Gerald Fitch came back and earned their diplomas today, as well: https://twitter.com/KentuckyMBB/status/941790302582595584 Current WNBA star Makayla Epps donned her cap and gown after walking across the stage: https://twitter.com/mdorseymedia/status/941724618586558464 Here was Matthew Mitchell's video of Epps walking across the stage and receiving her diploma:
