In June, when Ken McKinley learned his son would be inducted into the USC Athletic Hall of Fame, he pulled his car over to the side of the road and cried.
On Thursday evening, when he accepts that induction on behalf of Kenny McKinley during a ceremony at The Zone at Williams-Brice Stadium, he might cry again, but he’ll also be very proud because the school and team that his son loved so much is loving him back.
Kenny McKinley was a king in Columbia from 2005 though 2008, a zip-quick wide receiver with a smile wider than his waist. He charmed coach Steve Spurrier like few other players have, and he set the school’s career records in catches (207), receiving yards (2,782) and consecutive games with a catch (43) along the way.
“Kenny was one of my favorite players of all time,” Spurrier said Wednesday. “He really was. Man, he could play. He could catch. He was tough, courageous, really an outstanding player. We all loved him, and he was tough, never complained about anything.”

I played intramural basketball against Kenny while I was at Carolina. One of the nicest guys I have ever met.
