Report: Starting offensive lineman leaving Kentucky to 'pursue other opportunities'

During the 2018 season, OL EJ Price earned the starting left tackle job for the Kentucky Wildcats after Landon Young went down in the preseason.

However, he’s recently been in the news for the wrong reasons, as he switched his Twitter account to private after a series of tweets about police.

Now, it appears he’s leaving the Kentucky program, per a report from Justin Rowland of Rivals:

Breaking, from a UK spokesperson: "EJ Price has withdrawn from the University to pursue other opportunities."

Former USC OL played extensively in 2018. Woulf have been rotation player next year. Had an interesting series of tweets involving police recently.

Even if Price, a former USC player, wasn’t a starter for the Wildcats in 2019, his experience would have been very valuable.

Now, the Wildcats will need to find a way to boost their depth up front this spring.
