Born in December of 1999 in Washington DC, Paschal played both football and basketball at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, amassing 64 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks in his senior year. A four-star recruit, he had offers from the likes of Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Clemson and USC before deciding to take his talents to the Kentucky Wildcats, where he would be a three-year starter and team captain.
The 6’3, 268 lb. Paschal was ranked second in the SEC last season with 15.5 tackles for loss, along with 5.5 sacks among his 53 total tackles.
Another interesting note about Paschal is that he’s currently in remission from malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer. He would undergo three separate surgeries during his treatment at UK Markey Cancer Center, and then began immunotherapy treatments and medication. His immunotherapy ended on Aug. 7, 2019 and he’s been in remission since then.
