LEXINGTON, Ky. – On football fields all across the country, the sound of a coach’s whistle is a universal call to action. But for three former Kentucky football players, their call to duty is now just a little different.

Policemen Daniel Burnett (UK 2001-03) and Kio Sanford (1994-97) and firefighter Mike Kamphake (1998-2002) have hung up their football cleats for an opportunity to serve the Lexington community.


And while the trio has traded in Wildcat jerseys in favor of police and fire uniforms, each of the three credits his time in the Blue and White for inspiring him to give back to the town that gave him his start.

Nice job, Sean Cartell with UK Media Relations. Too, thanks for the link, WildcatRick.

I so enjoyed reading the piece about these three former players who love Lexington and serving the community. I especially enjoyed reading Kio Sanford's comments, as he was a favorite of mine.
