College football players combine speed, strength, and agility to excel on the field. Each game showcases a crucial blend of explosive power and strategic finesse, all sharpened through rigorous training and fierce competition. These dedicated athletes drive their teams to success with hard-earned skill, so improving their performance is vital to these individual student-athletes and their contributions to the larger team’s game day victory.

The University of Kentucky’s standout quarterback Brock Vandagriff is in his junior year in terms of eligibility. This Georgia native entered college as a five-star recruit in his home state. He aided his team in reaching the national championship early in his college career. Now in his first season at Kentucky, Brock is adding real milk and its role in better hydration status to his game. And fans can already see how milk powers the quarterback’s performance.

“In Kentucky, champions are made with hard work and the right nutrition,” said Brock Vandagriff. “That’s why I drink milk. With natural electrolytes, carbs, and high-quality protein, it keeps champions like me hydrated.”

Did you know milk is one of the best beverages for hydration? Milk’s natural electrolytes, carbohydrates, and high-quality protein make it more effective at improving hydration status. Milk, an affordable and accessible option, keeps you hydrated longer than water and sports drinks. That means you can stay focused on the game instead.

For those who are lactose-sensitive, choose lactose-free milk to help you stay hydrated. Lactose-free milk is real milk, just without the lactose that may cause discomfort. You can choose milk for your game plan to help you stay hydrated and boost performance.

“Drinking dairy milk is important to my routine as it helps keep me hydrated as well,” said Brock Vandagriff. “I’m excited to share those benefits in my new campaign with The Dairy Alliance!”

University of Kentucky freshman soccer player Gaby Rourke takes her role as goalie seriously. That’s why she trusts milk to fuel her performance.

“Milk’s electrolytes help champions like me stay hydrated and energized on and off the field,” said Gaby Rourke. “Milk’s got game and girls got game, too.”

Gaby loves to compete, and not just in soccer. She is a multi-sport athlete who played five different sports in high school: soccer, volleyball, softball, and flag football and tackle football. She was a placekicker and the first female to ever make her high school’s varsity team in tackle football. In addition to making history, she was also the team captain of her school’s flag football team. As an active student-athlete, Gaby is showing football fans how girls got game, too. And as a leader in her local flag football and soccer communities, Gaby is showcasing how athletic success can lead to larger impacts.
