We haven\u2019t heard much from Brock Vandagriff<\/a> since he retired from football<\/a> earlier this year, but today, we got a reminder that the former Kentucky quarterback is enjoying his new life to the fullest. Vandagriff just announced his engagement to his longtime girlfriend Layton on social media, and the pictures must be seen to be believed. <\/p>\n

Vandagriff, an avid hunter and fisherman, put all outdoorsmen on notice with his proposal. Instead of surprising his girlfriend with a ring box, Vandagriff got down on one knee and handed her an antler with \u201cWill you marry me?\u201d painted on it. Obviously, she said yes, and the happy couple took some photos together, a few on his fishing boat. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a great weekend,\u201d Vandagriff wrote in the caption. \u201cThe catch of a lifetime for sure! Thankful for friends and family for helping us celebrate such a special day. I love you Layton! Thank you Lord. Let\u2019s do it!! \ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc99\u201d<\/p>\n

Vandagriff dealt with injuries throughout this season at Kentucky, the worst coming off a brutal hit during the Cats\u2019 loss at Tennessee. The Georgia transfer finished the season with 125 completions for 1,593 yards, 10 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. His best performance was in Kentucky\u2019s win at Ole Miss, where he completed 64.3% of his passes for 243 yards and a touchdown to help lead the Cats to the upset of the top-ten Rebels. After the season, he decided to hang it up despite Mark Stoops wanting him to return for another season. <\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to be able to spend more time with my family and things of that sort,\u201d Vandagriff told the Athens Banner-Herald<\/a> of his decision. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t like I was fired up to go in there every day. As a quarterback that\u2019s kind of what you need. Your team relies on you and I didn\u2019t feel like I was able to be at my best every day because of the whole situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vandagriff is back in his home state of Georgia working as a medical sales rep for Zimmer Biomet, and, when the work day is over, enjoying the great outdoors. Now, he\u2019ll need to carve out some time for wedding planning. Congrats to the happy couple! If the proposal pictures are any indication, I can\u2019t wait to see what the wedding is like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We haven\u2019t heard much from Brock Vandagriff since he retired from football earlier this year, but today, we…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62794,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[20037,7],"class_list":{"0":"post-62793","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-brock-vandagriff-21-prince-avenue-christian","9":"tag-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114535642279855452","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
