Kentucky defender reportedly leaving Wildcats to transfer to JUCO ranks
As part of the 2018 recruiting class, 4-star OLB Xavier Peters was originally committed to Kentucky before flipping to Florida State.
Then, ahead of the 2019 campaign, he decided to transfer from Florida State and come back to Kentucky. In 2019, he appeared in 3 games, recording 1 tackle against Vanderbilt.
Now, though, it appears Peters will be on the move again, as it was reported on Saturday that he was heading to Garden City Junior College:

Peters was the No. 12 outside linebacker in the class of 2018 and the No. 6 overall recruit from the state of Ohio, per the 247Sports composite rankings.
Whether or not Peters finds his way back to the Division 1 (or Kentucky, specifically) remains to be seen.
Wishing him a lot of luck. I thought he was going to be the next Josh Allen but ended up being the biggest disappointment on the team.
Agreed.
Need to get Calimari to loan some money to stoops.
Stoops needed the scholarship but I’d understand if you’re not familiar with higher education.
Not familiar with higher education? He’s not even familiar with college sports, especially UK Athletics–he can’t even spell the basketball coach’s name right.
That’s because Calimari is a stinking squid….NCAA is coming after they get through with Kansass.
Don’t mind him guys. He is the new Paris10 with a smaller vocabulary.
Be laughing real loud when the NCAA pounces after dealing with jayhawks.
Thank you for the laugh Bourbon Blue, thank you!
