Ex-University of Kentucky American Football player comes out as gay

Former Kentucky punter Landon Foster has a new goal for his life: foster the diversity and inclusion in the sports and business worlds he has not always felt himself.

Landon Foster, who played for the University of Kentucky American Football team from 2012-2015, announced publicly in an essay written for OutSports.com on Wednesday that he is gay, hoping to voice support for other young people who might be battling the same trouble he had while living in the closet at University of Kentucky.
